Wie viele Zeit verlor ich, dich zu lieben! Hätt' ich doch Gott geliebt in all der Zeit. Ein Platz im Paradies wär' mir verschrieben, Ein Heil'ger säße dann an meiner Seit'. Und weil ich dich geliebt, schön frisch Gesicht, Verscherzt' ich mir des Paradieses Licht, Und weil ich dich geliebt, schön Veigelein, Komm' ich nun nicht ins Paradies hinein.

Quant de temps he perdut estimant-te! Si durant tot aquest temps hagués estimat Déu, un lloc al Paradís m’estaria assignat, un sant seuria al meu costat. I perquè t’he estimat, rostre fresc i formós, pel meu mal cap, he perdut la llum del Paradís, i perquè t’he estimat, bella violeta, ara no entraré mai al Paradís.
