Ich soll dir Lieder singen - Ich weiß keine Lieder mehr! Ich möchte mit dir ringen Und dich zwingen, du Wilde; komm her! Komm her und höre drinnen Das Lied in meiner Brust, Daß du mit allen Sinnen Mich lieben und mein sein mußt.

T’hauria de cantar cançons – No conec cap cançó! M’agradaria abraonar-te i forçar-te, tu salvatge; vine aquí! Vine aquí i escolta la cançó dins del meu pit, perquè amb tots els teus sentits, m’estimis i hagis de ser meva.
