An meinem Herzen, an meiner Brust,
Du meine Wonne, du meine Lust!

Das Glück ist die Liebe, die Lieb' ist das Glück,
Ich hab' es gesagt und nehm's nicht zurück.

Hab' überglücklich mich geschätzt
Bin überglücklich aber jetzt.

 ... 

Du schauest mich an und lächelst dazu,
Du lieber, lieber Engel, du!

An meinem Herzen, an meiner Brust,
Du meine Wonne, du meine Lust!

Hier in mijn armen, hier aan mijn borst
 (Sung text translation for setting by Louis Ferdinand)
 See original
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Hier in mijn armen, hier aan mijn borst,
Jij, mijn verrukking, mijn kleine vorst!

't Geluk is de liefde, de liefd' is geluk,
Ik heb 't gezegd en neem 't niet terug.

'k Was te uitbundig, naar ik dacht,
Nu dolgelukkig onverwacht.

 ... 

Jij, lieve lieve engel, jij,
Jij kijkt mij aan en glimlacht daarbij!
