Wollt vorübergehen, doch es mußt geschehen, Daß ich [deine Küsse wie im Traum]1 gepflückt. Und 's ist so gekommen, wie ich's oft vernommen, Daß ich leiden müsse, [wenn]2 du mich beglückt. Gehe nun im Leide wie im Festtagskleide, Hast mit Küssen, Liebste, mich so reich geschmückt. Will mit meinen Klagen dir nur eines sagen, Ewig leiden müssen, ist, was mich beglückt. -- --

Je voulais passer outre, mais il fallait que ça arrive, Que comme dans un rêve je cueille ton baiser. Et c'est arrivé exactement, comme je l'avais souvent pressenti : Qu'il me faille souffrir, après que tu m'eus rendue heureuse. Maintenant je vais en peine comme dans un habit de fête, Tu m'as, chéri, de baisers si richement parée. Dans mon chagrin je veux te dire une seule chose : devoir éternellement souffrir est ce qui me rend heureuse.
