Wie soll ich fröhlich sein und lachen gar, Da du mir immer zürnest unverhohlen? Du kommst nur Einmal alle hundert Jahr, Und dann, als hätte man dir's anbefohlen. Was kommst du, wenn's die Deinen ungern sehn? Gieb frei mein Herz, dann magst du weitergehn. Daheim mit deinen Leuten leb' in Frieden, Denn was der Himmel will, geschieht hinieden. Halt Frieden mit den Deinigen zu Haus, Denn was der Himmel will, das bleibt nicht aus.

Comment pourrai-je être heureuse et rire, Alors que tu es toujours en colère avec moi ? Tu viens seulement une fois tous les cents ans, Et alors comme si on t'en avait donné l'ordre. Pourquoi venir, si les tiens voient cela à contre-cœur ? Rends la liberté à mon cœur, et alors tu peux t'en aller. Vis chez toi avec ta famille en paix, Car ce que le ciel veut arrive ici-bas. La paix avec les tiens à la maison, Car ce que le ciel veut ne manque pas d'arriver.
