Hochgetürmte Rimaflut,
Wie bist du so trüb;
An dem Ufer klag ich
Laut nach dir, mein Lieb!
Wellen fliehen, Wellen strömen,
Rauschen an dem Strand heran zu mir.
An dem Rimaufer laß mich
Ewig weinen nach ihr!

Torenhoge Rimastroom
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch)
Torenhoge Rimastroom,
Hoe kom je zo triest;
Aan de oever roep ik
Luid om jou, mijn lief!
Golven vluchten, golven stromen,
Naad’ren mij op ‘t strand met luid misbaar.
Op de Rimaoever laat mij
Eeuwig huilen om haar!
