Wenn ich heut nicht deinen leib berühre Wird der faden meiner seele reissen Wie zu sehr gespannte sehne. Liebe zeichen seien trauerflöre Mir der leidet seit ich dir gehöre. Richte ob mir solche qual gebühre · Kühlung sprenge mir dem fieberheissen Der ich wankend draussen lehne.

Si cette nuit je ne touche pas ton corps, Le fil de mon âme se cassera Comme une corde trop tendue. Cher signe tu es un brassard de deuil Pour moi, qui souffre, car je t'appartiens. Juge si une telle torture m'est due, Arrose-moi d'un rafraîchissement, moi qui brûle de fièvre, Moi qui m'appuie en titubant dehors.
