Da unten im Tale Läuft's Wasser so trüb, Und i kann dir's net sagen, I hab' di so lieb. Sprichst allweil von Liebe, Sprichst allweil von Treu', Und a bissele Falschheit Is auch wohl dabei. Und wenn i dir's zehnmal sag, Daß i di lieb [und mag]1, Und du willst nit verstehn, Muß i halt weitergehn. Für die Zeit, wo du gliebt mi hast, [Da]2 dank i dir schön, Und i wünsch, daß dir's anderswo Besser mag gehn.

Allà baix a la vall corre una aigua tan tèrbola, i jo no et puc dir que t’estimo tant. Tu sempre parles d’amor, sempre parles de fidelitat, i una mica de falsedat també hi és present. I quan et dic deu vegades que t’estimo i que m’agrades i com que tu no ho vols entendre, me’n haig d’anar simplement. Per tot el temps que m’has estimat, et dono les meves sinceres gràcies, i et desitjo que amb qualsevol altre et pugui anar millor.
