Mein Liebster singt am Haus im Mondenscheine, Und ich muß lauschend hier im Bette liegen. Weg von der Mutter wend' ich mich und weine, Blut sind die Thränen, die mir nicht versiegen. Den breiten Strom am Bett hab' ich geweint, Weiß nicht vor Thränen, ob der Morgen scheint. Den breiten Strom am Bett weint' ich vor Sehnen; Blind haben mich gemacht die blut'gen Thränen.

El meu estimat canta davant la casa a la llum de la lluna i jo haig de restar al llit, escoltant-lo. Apartada de la mare ploro, les meves llàgrimes són de sang i no s’assequen. Al llit he plorat una gran riuada i degut a les llàgrimes no sé quan es fa de dia. Per deler he plorat al llit una gran riuada; les llàgrimes de sang m’han fet tornar cega.
