Komm mit! Mußt dich aber eilen - Sieben lange Meilen Mach ich mit jedem Schritt. Hinter Wald und Hügel Steht mein rotes Roß. Komm mit! Ich fasse die Zügel - Komm mit in mein rotes Schloß. Dort wachsen blaue Bäume Mit goldenen Äpfeln dran, Dort träumen wir silberne Träume, Die kein Mensch sonst träumen kann. Dort schlummern seltne Genüsse, Die noch kein Mensch genoß, Unter Lorbeern purpurne Küsse - Komm mit über Wald und Hügel! Halt fest! Ich fasse die Zügel, Und zitternd entführt dich mein rotes Roß.

Viens avec moi ! Mais tu dois te presser -- Je fais sept milles À chaque pas. Par delà forêt et coteau Il y a mon cheval rouge Viens ! Je tiens la bride -- Viens dans mon palais rouge. Il y pousse des arbres bleus Aux pommes d'or On y fait des rêves d'argent Que d'habitude aucun homme ne peut rêver. Là-bas, sous le baiser de pourpres lauriers Dort rarement une jouissance Qu'aucun homme n'a encore goûtée -- Viens, par-dessus forêt et coteau ! Tiens bon ! Je tiens la bride, Et mon cheval rouge t'enlève en tremblant.
