Meine Lieder stehen
Vor deiner Tür,
Sie klopfen an und beugen sich:
Öffnest du mir?

Meine Lieder haben
Einen seidenen Klang
Wie das Rauschen deines Kleides
Im Treppengang.

 ... 

Meine Lieder kleidet
Ein schweres Rot,
Das deinem seidnen Kleide gleich
Knistert und loht.

Meine schönsten Lieder
Gleichen ganz dir.
Sie stehn an deiner Pforte 
Öffnest du mir?

(Sung text translation for setting by O. Schwind)

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Mes chants sont
Devant ta porte.
Ils frappent et s'inclinent :
« M'ouvres-tu ? ».

Mes chants ont
Un son soyeux,
Pareil à celui de ta robe
Dans l'escalier.

 ... 

Mes chants s'habillent
D'un profond rouge,
Pareil à celui de ta robe rouge
Qui froufroute et flambe.

Mes chants les plus beaux
Sont tout pareils à toi.
Ils sont devant la porte et s'inclinent¹ :
« M'ouvres-tu ? »
