Heb' auf dein blondes Haupt und schlafe nicht, Und laß dich ja von Schlummer nicht betören. Ich sage dir vier Worte von Gewicht, Von denen darfst du keines überhören. Das erste: daß um dich mein Herze bricht, Das zweite: dir nur will ich angehören, Das dritte: daß ich dir mein Heil befehle, Das letzte: dich allein liebt meine Seele.

הרימי את ראשך הבלונדיני ואל תתני לשינה לפתות אותך. אגיד לך ארבע אמירות כבדות משקל ומהן אל תחמיצי אף אחת. הראשונה, שבגללך ליבי נשבר. השניה, שרק לך אני רוצה להשתייך. השלישית, שאני מוסר לך את גאולתי. והאחרונה, שנפשי שייכת רק לך לבד.Authorship
