Ich bin dein, du bist mein,
Des sollst du gewiß sein.
Du bist beschlossen in meinem Herzen,
Verloren ist das Schlüsselein -
Nun mußt du immer drinnen sein.

I am yours, you are mine
Of that you may be sure.
You are locked up within my heart,
The little key is lost -
Now you must always remain in there!
