Ich fuhr wohl über Wasser Und in die Ferne weit, Als ich zurück zur Heimet kam, Freit'ich die schönste Maid. Es war die Elfenfraue, Die tät's mit Zürnen seh'n, Und nimmer soll sein feines Lieb Mit ihm zur Kirche geh'n. Hör'an, du Elfenfraue, Laß fahren die Beschwer! Zwei Herzen, die sich lieben, Die trennst du nimmermehr!

He viatjat a pler damunt les aigües, i per països llunyans, quan vaig tornar a casa, em vaig casar amb la més bella de les donzelles. Fou la reina dels elfs que ho veié amb molt d’enuig, la seva bella donzella no hauria mai d’anar amb ell a l’església. Escolta, tu, reina dels elfs, deixa estar els teus greuges! Dos cors que s’estimen mai els podràs separar!
