Translation by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)

Du bist mir ein sauberer Bursche, du!
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Hungarian (Magyar) 
Du bist mir ein [sauberer]1 Bursche, du!  
Gar keiner bist du, ich sag' es dir. 
Nicht einen Kuß, du feiges Herz, 
Nicht einen einzigen, gibst du mir. 

Du meinst vielleicht, ich könne das 
Nicht wiedergeben, was man gibt? 
Du meinst vielleicht, ich werde den 
Nicht wiederlieben, der mich liebt?  

Herz gegen Herz  --  ein guter Kauf, 
Da tausch' ich ohne Widerstreit, 
Bin jeder heißen Liebeshuld 
Zu doppeltheißem Dank bereit.
