Ach, wenn es [nun die]1 Mutter wüßt, Wie du so wild mich hast geküßt, Sie würde beten ohne Ende, Daß Gott der Herr das Unglück wende. Und wenn das mein Herr Bruder wüßt, Wie du so wild mich hast geküßt, Er eilte wohl mit Windesschnelle Und schlüge dich tot auf der Stelle. Doch wenn es meine Schwester wüßt, Wie du so wild mich hast geküßt, Auch ihr Herz würde in Sehnsucht schlagen Und Glück und Sünde gerne tragen.

Ah, if only Mother knew now, How you had kissed me so wildly, She would pray without stopping, That the Lord God would undo the tragedy. And if my big brother knew, How you had kissed me so wildly, He would race here as fast as the wind And strike you dead on the spot. Certainly, if my sister knew, How you had kissed me so wildly, Her heart would also swoon with longing And gladly bear the happiness and the sin.
