Der Mond hat eine schwere Klag' erhoben Und vor dem Herrn die Sache kund gemacht: Er wolle nicht mehr stehn am Himmel droben, Du habest ihn um seinen Glanz gebracht. Als er zuletzt das Sternenheer gezählt, Da hab' es an der vollen Zahl gefehlt; Zwei von den schönsten habest du entwendet: Die beiden Augen dort, die mich verblendet.

La lluna ha posat un greu plet i ha fet saber la causa al Senyor: ella no vol restar més a dalt del cel car tu li has robat el seu esclat. Quan darrerament va comptar la munió d’estrelles, llur nombre no era pas complet, tu n’havies robat dues de les més belles: aquests dos ulls que m’enlluernen.
