Der Sonne entgegen In Liebesgluten Wandr' ich... o Wonne, Wer mäße dein Maß! Mit Reif bepudert Prangen die Wälder, Die Berge grüßen Das blendende Licht. Vor Eiseskälte Knirschen die Schritte, Der Hauch des Mundes Ballt sich zu Dampf... Ich trage Feuer In meinem Herzen, Mich brennt die Liebe, Das schlimme Kind. Sie schürt die Flamme Mit hastigen Händen, Die Kohlen knistern, Der Wohlduft quillt, Der Sonne entgegen Im Liebesgluten Wandr' ich... o Wonne, Wer mäße dein Maß!

Face au soleil, Enflammé d'amour, Je cheminais ... ô délices Au-delà de toute mesure ! Poudrées de givre Les forêts resplendissent, Les monts saluent L'aveuglante lumière. Sous la froidure du gel Les pas crissent, Le souffle de la bouche Se condense en buée ... Je porte du feu Dans mon cœur, L'amour me brûle, Le méchant garçon. Il attise la flamme De ses mains pressées. Les charbons grésillent, Une fragrance se répand, Face au soleil, Enflammé d'amour, Je cheminais ... ô délices Au-delà de toute mesure !
