Ins Joch beug' ich den Nacken demuthvoll, Beug' lächelnd vor dem Mißgeschick dies Haupt, Dies Herz das liebt und glaubt, Vor meiner Feindin. Wider diese Qual Bäum' ich mich nicht mit Groll, Mir bangt viel mehr, sie lindre sich einmal. Wenn deines Auges Strahl Dies Leid verwandelt hat in Lebenssaft, Welch Leid hat dann zu töten mich die Kraft?

Je baisse humblement le cou sous le joug, Souriant devant mon malheur, je penche la tête, Et ce cœur qui aime et qui croit, Devant mon ennemie. Contre ce tourment, Je ne me rebelle pas avec rancœur, Je crains bien plus qu'un jour elle s'apaise. Si la radiance de tes yeux a transformé Cette peine en source de vie, Quelle peine aurait encore la puissance de me tuer ?
