"Am jüngsten Tag ich aufersteh' 
Und gleich nach meinem Liebsten seh',
und wenn ich ihn nicht finden kann,
leg' wieder mich zum Schlafen dann.

"O Herzeleid, du Ewigkeit!
Selbander nur ist Seligkeit!
Und kommt mein Liebster nicht hinein,
mag nicht im Paradiese sein!"

Chant de jeune fille

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

 ... 

Le jour du Jugement je me lèverai à nouveau,
Et je verrai également mon bien-aimé,
Et si je ne peux pas le trouver,
Je me coucherai et m'endormirai à nouveau.

Chagrin, éternité !
Seulement avec un autre vient le bonheur !
Et si mon bien-aimé ne vient pas ici,
Je ne souhaite pas être au paradis !

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 3-4 of the original text.
