Heut Nacht erhob ich mich um Mitternacht, Da war mein Herz mir heimlich fortgeschlichen. Ich frug: Herz, wohin stürmst du so mit Macht? Es sprach: Nur Euch zu sehn, sei es entwichen. Nun sieh, wie muß es um mein Lieben stehn: Mein Herz entweicht der Brust, um dich zu sehn!

La darrera nit m’he llevat a mitjanit, car el meu cor s’ha esquitllat furtivament. Vaig preguntar: cor, cap on t’apresses tan furiosament? Ell digué: només per veure-us, s’ha escapolit. Ara mira, com deu ser el meu amor: el meu cor s’esquitlla del pit per anar a veure’t!
