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?

Les meves cançons són
davant la teva porta,
truquen i s’inclinen:
M’obres?
Les meves cançons tenen
un to sedós
com el frec del teu vestit
quan puges l’escala.
...
Les meves cançons es vesteixen
de vermell llampant,
que com el teu vestit de seda
fa fru-fru i flameja.
Les meves cançons més belles
són exactament com tu.
Són a la porta i s’inclinen:
M’obres?
