Junger Knabe, der du gehest Auf und ab am Fenster hier, Laß dein Wandern nur, o Knabe, Denn ich singe nicht zu dir. Meine Weise gilt dem Liebsten, Der ist gangen aus dem Tal, Seine Schönheit blühet schöner Als die deine [tausend Mal]1. Heller blühet seine Farbe Als die Au, die er verließ, Auf die Erde ist er kommen, Und er kam vom Paradies.

Young lad, you who paces Back and forth at the window here, Only leave off your wandering, oh lad, For I do not sing to you. My lay is for my beloved, Who has left this valley, His beauty blooms a thousand times More beautifully than yours. His colouring blooms more brightly Than the meadow that he left, He came upon the earth And he came from Paradise.
