Unter der Linden, bei der Heide, [Da]1 unser beider Bette was, Da [könnet]2 ihr finden, wie wir beide Die Blumen brachen und das Gras. [Vor dem]3 Wald in einem Tal! Tandaradei Sang so [süß]4 die Nachtigall. Kam da gegangen hin zur Aue Und mein Liebster war schon da. Da ward ich empfangen, hehre Fraue, O welches Glück, daß ich ihn sah! Ob er mich küßte? So manche Stund! Tandaradei Seht, wie rot mir ist der Mund! Da hat er gemachet schnell bei Scherzen von Blumen reich die Ruhestatt; Ja, mancher noch lachet von ganzem Herzen, Wenn er kommt denselben Pfad. An den Rosen er wohl mag -- Tandaradei Merken, wo das Haupt mir lag. Wüßte das einer, daß geblieben Er bei mir, ich schämte mich. O wollte doch keiner, was wir trieben Erfahren je, nur er und ich. Und ein kleines Vögelein -- Tandaradei Das wird wohl verschwiegen sein!

Sotto il tiglio, nel boschetto, c'era il letto di noi due. Là potreste trovare, da noi due schiacciati, i fiori e l'erba. Nel bosco verde, in una valle! - tandaradai! - Come cantava dolce l'usignolo! Venivo camminando verso il prato, dove il mio caro era già arrivato. E come ero accolta, Vergine santa! Che gioia, quando lo vedevo! Se mi baciava? Per tante ore: - tandaradai! - guardate come è rossa la mia bocca! Là lui ha fatto un letto pieno di fiori, riderebbe di cuore chi venisse sul sentiero e vedesse le rose - tandaradai! - dove appoggiavo la testa. Se qualcuno sapesse che lui ha giaciuto con me, ne avrei vergogna. Oh, nessuno voglia mai sapere che cosa facciamo, solo lui ed io, e magari un piccolo uccellino: - tandaradai! - ma che non lo sappia nessuno!
