2. Finstere Schatten der Nacht [sung text checked 1 time]

Finstere Schatten der Nacht,
Wogen- und Wirbelgefahr!
Sind wohl, die da gelind
rasten auf sicherem Lande,

Das ist der nur allein,
welcher auf wilder See
stürmischer Öde treibt,
Meilen entfernt vom Strande.

Yön synkät varjot,

Eivät kai ne, jotka kaikessa rauhassa
lepäilevät turvassa maan kamaralla,
koskaan pysty niitä ymmärtämään?

Siihen pystyy voi vain se,
joka aavalla merellä
yksin keskellä myrskyä ajelehtii
mailien päässä rannalta.

12. Schwarzer Wald, dein Schatten ist so düster! [sung text checked 1 time]

Schwarzer Wald, dein Schatten ist so düster!
Armes Herz, dein Leiden ist so drückend!
Was dir einzig wert, es steht vor Augen;
ewig untersagt ist Huldvereinung.

12.

Tumma metsä, varjosi on niin synkkä!
Sydän-parka, sinun kipusi on niin ankeaa!
Ainoa, millä on sinulle arvoa, on lähelläsi;
mutta rakkauden liitto on sinulta kielletty iäksi.

13. Nein, Geliebter, setze dich [sung text checked 1 time]

Nein, Geliebter, setze dich
mir so nahe nicht!
Starre nicht so brünstiglich
mir ins Angesicht!
 
Wie es auch im Busen brennt,
dämpfe deinen Trieb,
daß es nicht die Welt erkennt,
wie wir uns so lieb.

13.

Ei, Kultaseni, älä istu
niin lähelle minua!
Äläkä tuijota noin himokkaasti
suoraan kasvoihini!
 
Vaikka rinnassasi kuinka liekehtiikin,
hillitse tunteesi,
ettei maailma huomaa,
miten paljon toisiamme rakastamme.

14. Flammenauge, dunkles Haar [sung text checked 1 time]

Flammenauge, dunkles Haar,
Knabe wonnig und verwogen,
Kummer ist durch dich hinein
in mein armes Herz gezogen!

Kann in Eis der Sonne Brand,
sich in Nacht der Tag verkehren?
Kann die heisse Menschenbrust
atmen ohne Glutbegehren?

Ist die Flur so voller Licht,
daß die Blum' im Dunkel stehe?
Ist die Welt so voller Lust,
daß das Herz in Qual vergehe?

14.

Sinä säihkyväsilmäinen, tummatukkainen,
ihana ja röyhkeä poika,
sinun takiasi on suru 
tullut sydänparkaani!

Voiko auringon lämpö muuttua jääksi,
voiko päivä muuttua yöksi?
Voiko lämmin ihmisrinta
hengittää tuntematta hehkuvaa kaipausta?

Onko ympärillä niin paljon valoa,
että kukka näyttää olevan pimeässä?
Onko maailma niin täynnä iloa,
että sydän riutuu tuskaansa?

15. Zum Schluß [sung text checked 1 time]

Nun, ihr Musen, genug! Vergebens strebt ihr zu schildern,
Wie sich Jammer und Glück wechseln in liebender Brust.
Heilen könnet die Wunden ihr nicht, die Amor geschlagen;
Aber Linderung kommt einzig, ihr Guten, von euch.

15.

Nyt riittää, muusat! Turhaan te yritätte selitellä,
miten valitus ja onni vaihtelevat rakastavassa rinnassa.
Ettehän te kuitenkaan pysty parantamaan Amorin lyömiä haavoja;
joskin tuskan lievitys voi tulla vain teidän hyvyytenne kautta.
