Hier ruht die Jungfrau Johanna Beck
als sie starb war ihre unschuld
schon vorher weg,
die männer haben ihr den rest gegeben
drum floh sie aus diesem süssen leben,
ruhe sanft!

Aquí descansa la virgen Johanna Beck
cuando ella se murió su inocencia
quedó en el camino,
los hombres le han dado su descanso
entonces, ella huyó de esta vida de dulzura,
¡descanse en paz!
