Du nennst mich -- armes Mädchen; Du irrst, ich bin nicht arm. Entreiss dich, Neugier halber, Einmal des Schlafes Arm, Und schau' mein niedres Hüttchen, Wenn sich die Sonne hold Am Morgenhimmel hebet: Sein Dach ist reines Gold! Komm' Abends, wann die Sonne Bereits zum Meere sinkt, Und sieh' mein einzig Fenster, Wie's von Topasen blinkt!

Tu em dius pobra noia, i t’equivoques, jo no sóc pobra. Per curiositat, desferma’t per una vegada dels braços de la son, i esguarda la meva humil, petita cabana, quan enciser el sol surt al cel del matí: la seva teulada és or pur! Vine al vespre, quan el sol és a punt de pondre’s al mar, i esguarda la meva única finestra com brilla amb pedres de topazi!
