Bei dem Glanz der Abendröthe
Ging ich still den Wald entlang,
Damon saß und blies die Flöte,
Daß es von den Felsen klang,
So la la! . . .

Und er zog mich zu sich nieder,
Küßte mich so hold, so süß.
Und ich sagte: blase wieder!
Und der gute Junge blies,
So la la! . . .

Meine Ruh ist nun verloren,
Meine Freude floh davon,
Und ich hör' vor meinen Ohren
Immer nur den alten Ton,
So la la, le ralla! . . .

Wieczorem, póżnego czasu,
Szłam sama około lasu,
Na flecie grał Damon tkliwie,
Po całéj go słychać niwie,
   Tak: la la la!

Przynęcił mię, ośmiełony
Całował mię bez obrony;
Gray, rzehłam mu, ieszcze chwilę!
I zagrał mi bardzo mile,
   Tak: la la la!

Zginęły swobody moie!
Odbiegły mię iuż pokoie,
I nigdy to lube granie,
Wspominać się nie przestanie,
   Tak: la la la!
