Bedeckt mich mit Blumen,
Ich sterbe vor Liebe.
Daß die Luft mit leisem Wehen
nicht den süßen Duft entführe,
Bedeckt mich!
...
Von Jasmin und weißen Lilien
sollt ihr hier mein Grab bereiten,
Ich sterbe.
Und befragt ihr mich: Woran?
sag' ich: Unter süßen Qualen
Vor Liebe.

Cubridme con flores, muero
de amor.
Que la brisa con suave soplo
no me arrebate la dulce fragancia.
¡Cubridme!
...
Con jazmines y lirios blancos
debéis disponer aquí mi tumba.
Yo muero.
Y si me preguntáis por qué causa,
os diré que como consecuencia de dulces tormentos
de amor, de amor.
