Auf deinem Grunde haben Sie an verborgnem Ort Den goldnen Schatz begraben, Der Nibelungen Hort. Ihn wahren deine Wellen Bis an den Jüngsten Tag, Zu der geheimen Stellen Kein Räuber dringen mag. Mir ward ins Herz gesenket Ein Schatz, gleich wie dem Rhein, Er ist darin ertränket, Wird ewig drinnen sein.

Ver weg van elke haven Ligt, in jouw schoot gevat, De gouden schat begraven, De Nibelungenschat. Haar schildwacht zijn jouw golven Tot aan de jongste dag, Heel diep ligt zij bedolven, Geen rover haar ooit zag. Mij ligt in 't hart verzonken Een schat als in de Rijn, Zij is daarin verdronken, Zal eeuwig daarin zijn.
