"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!"

On Judgment Day I will rise again,
and immediately look for my sweetheart;
and if I cannot find him,
I will lie down again and sleep.
Heartache, you Eternity!
Only with another comes happiness!
And if my sweetheart comes not in,
then I don't wish to be in Paradise!"
