In dem Grünebusch, in dem Grünebusch Singt die Nachtigall die ganze Nacht; Singt mit lautem Schall, singt mit lautem Schall, Daß ich davon bin vom Schlaf erwacht. Singst ja viel zu süß, singst ja viel zu süß, Nachtigall, vor meinem Kämmerlein; Singst so bittersüß, singst so bittersüß Für ein Mädchen, das allein muß sein. Wenn die Sonne scheint, wenn die Sonne scheint, Kannst du singen immer-, immerzu; Aber bei der Nacht, aber bei der Nacht Raubt dein Lied mir alle meine Ruh.

Vihreässä pensastossa laulaa satakieli koko yön; se laulaa voimakkaalla soinnilla, niin että minä heräsin unestani. Suloisestihan sinä laulat, liiankin suloisesti, satakieli, aivan kamarini edessä; laulat niin katkeransuloisesti tytölle, jonka täytyy olla yksin. Silloin kun aurinko paistaa, voit kyllä laulaa vaikka kaiken aikaa; mutta yöllä, mutta yöllä sinun laulusi riistää minulta rauhan.
