Sagt ihm, daß er zu mir komme
 (Sung text for setting by H. Wolf)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Sagt ihm, daß er zu mir komme,
Denn je mehr sie mich drum schelten,
Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut!

O zum Wanken
Bringt die Liebe nichts auf Erden;
Durch ihr Zanken
Wird sie nur gedoppelt werden. 
Sie gefährden
Mag nicht ihrer Neider Wut;
Denn je mehr sie mich drum schelten,
Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut!

Eingeschlossen
Haben sie mich lange Tage;
Unverdrossen
Mich gestraft mit schlimmer Plage;
Doch ich trage
Jede Pein mit Liebesmut,
Denn je mehr sie mich drum schelten,
Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut!

Meine Peiniger
Sagen oft, ich soll dich lassen,
Doch nur einiger
Woll'n wir uns ins Herze fassen. 
Muß ich drum erblassen,
Tod um Liebe lieblich tut,
Und je mehr sie mich drum schelten,
Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut!

Dis‑lui qu'il vienne vers moi
 (Sung text translation for setting by H. Wolf)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Dis-lui qu'il vienne vers moi,
Car plus ils me grondent,
Hélas, plus ma passion croît !

Oh, à vaciller
Rien sur le terre ne peut mener l'amour ;
Par leurs disputes,
Ils ne font que le multiplier par deux.
Le mettre en péril
Ils ne le peuvent par leur rage envieuse ;
Car plus ils me grondent,
Hélas, plus ma passion croît !

Emprisonnée
Ils m'ont, depuis de longs jours ;
Sévèrement
Ils m'ont punie avec la dernière rigueur ;
Mais je supporte
Chaque douleur avec le courage de l'amour,
Et plus ils me grondent,
Hélas, plus ma passion croît !

Mes bourreaux
Disent souvent que je devrais te quitter,
Mais cela ne fait que
Nous voulons nous empoigner dans nos cœurs.
Si je dois donc m'éteindre,
Mourir pour l'amour sera doux,
Et plus ils me grondent,
Hélas, plus ma passion croît !
