Es fiel ein Reif in der Frühlingsnacht, Es fiel auf die [zarten]1 Blaublümelein: Sie sind verwelket, [verdorret]2. Ein Jüngling hatte ein Mädchen lieb, Sie flohen heimlich [von]3 Hause fort, Es [wußt']4 weder Vater noch Mutter. Sie sind gewandert hin und her, Sie haben gehabt weder Glück noch Stern, Sie sind [verdorben, gestorben]5.

Discese la brina di notte, in primavera, discese sui delicati fiorellini azzurri: ed essi appassirono e seccarono. Un giovane si era innamorato di una fanciulla; fuggirono in segreto dalle loro case, all'insaputa dei loro genitori. Andarono errando di qua e di là, non hanno avuto fortuna, né una buona stella, sono andati in rovina e sono morti.
