Marietta Glück, das mir verblieb, rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb. Abend sinkt im Haag bist mir Licht und Tag. Bange pochet Herz an Herz Hoffnung schwingt sich himmelwärts. Paul Wie wahr, ein traurig Lied. Marietta Das Lied vom treuen Lieb, das sterben muss. Paul Ich kenne das Lied. Ich hört es oft in jungen, in schöneren Tagen. Es hat noch eine Strophe -- weiß ich sie noch? Naht auch Sorge trüb, rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb. Neig dein blaß Gesicht Sterben trennt uns nicht. Mußt du einmal von mir gehn, glaub, es gibt ein Auferstehn.

Marietta Lok, mij noch oerbleaun, Kom bij mij, myn trouwe freon. Skimer falt oer ’t gea. Bist mij ljocht en dei. Bang slaan harten tsjin elkoar - Hoop sjucht nei de himeldoar. Paul Hoe wier, in treurich liet. Marietta It liet fan leafde‘ en trou, Dy’t stjerre moat. Paul Ik ken dat liet. Ik heard’ it faak yn jonge, Yn moaiere dagen. It hat noch in strofe – Wit ik dat noch? Wurdst troch soargen dreaun, Kom bij mij, myn trouwe freon. Hef dyn bleek gesicht, Deagean falt uus licht: Moatsto ienris fan mij gean, Leau, do kinst ek wer opstean.
