Und schläfst du, mein Mädchen,
Auf, öffne du mir;
Denn die Stund' ist gekommen,
Da wir wandern von hier.
Und bist ohne Sohlen,
Leg' keine dir an;
Durch reisende Wasser
Geht unsere Bahn.
Durch die tief tiefen Wasser
Des Guadalquivir;
Denn die Stund' ist gekommen,
Da wir wandern von hier.
Auf, öffne du mir!

Se dormis, donzela,
Despertai! Abri,
Que chegou a hora,
De nos irmos daqui.
Se estais descalça,
Não vos calceis,
Que muitas águas
Tereis de passar.
Pelas águas fundas, profundas
Do Guadalquivir;
Que chegou a hora,
De nos irmos daqui.
