Du kleiner Kasten, den ich flüchtend trug Daß [seine]1 Lampen mir auch nicht zerbrächen Besorgt [von]2 Haus zum Schiff, vom Schiff zum Zug Daß meine Feinde weiter zu mir sprächen An meinem Lager und zu meiner Pein Der letzten nachts, der ersten in der Früh Von ihren Siegen und von meiner Müh: Versprich mir, nicht auf einmal stumm zu sein!

Pequeña cajita, que llevé en mi huida para que mis lámparas no se me rompieran que cuidé de casa al barco, del barco al tren para que mis enemigos siguieran hablando conmigo en mi refugio y para mi dolor lo último que oigo cada noche, lo primero al madrugar: sus victorias y mi preocupación. ¡Prométeme que nunca te quedarás muda!
