Wir wollten mit Kosen und Lieben Geniessen der köstlichen Nacht. Wo sind doch die Stunden geblieben? Es ist ja der Hahn schon erwacht. Die Sonne, die bringt viel Leiden, Es weinet die scheidende Nacht; Ich also muß weinen und scheiden, Es ist ja die Welt schon erwacht. Ich wollt' es gäb' keine Sonne, Als eben dein Auge so klar. Wir weilten in Tag und in Wonne, Und schliefe die Welt immerdar.

With caresses and loving, we wished To enjoy the delightful night. Where have the hours gone? The rooster is already awake, The sun, it brings much sorrow, The passing night weeps; So I must weep and depart, For the world is already awake I wish there were no sun Save for your eyes so clear, We would tarry in daylight and bliss, And the world would sleep forever.
