Renuncia, oh cor, a la salvació,
si mai t’aventures en el mar de l’amor!
Car mil naus malmeses
suren a les seves costes!

Finstere Schatten der Nacht,
Wogen- und Wirbelgefahr!
Sind wohl, die da gelind
rasten auf sicherem Lande,
euch zu begreifen im Stande?
Das ist der nur allein,
welcher auf wilder See
stürmischer Öde treibt,
Meilenentfernt vom Strande.

Fosques ombres de la nit,
perill d’onades i remolins!
Els que plàcidament resten
a la terra ferma,
són prou capaços de comprendre-us?
Només ho fa aquell que,
al mar salvatge, va a la deriva
en un desolat tempestuós,
a milles lluny de la costa.

Als dits de cada mà,

que el meu germà m’havia regalat
com senyal del seu afecte.
I jo, un darrera l’altre,
els he donat a aquell formós,
però indigne jovencell.

Wahre, wahre deinen Sohn,

Protegeix, protegeix el teu fill

Si la seva ànima no s’aflama --
es cremarà la teva cabana.

El món és tan ple de voluptat
perquè el cor es mori de turments?
