Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes, das mir in die Brust, die kühle, hat geschleudert mit dem Blicke diese wilden Glutgefühle! Willst du nicht dein Herz erweichen, willst du, eine Überfromme, rasten ohne traute Wonne, oder willst du, daß ich komme? Rasten ohne traute Wonne, nicht so bitter will ich büßen. Komme nur, du schwarzes Auge. Komme, wenn die Sterne grüßen.

Zeg mij, meisje, die zo lief bent, Die mij in mijn hart, dat koele, Met je blikken hebt geslingerd Deze gloed, dit wilde voelen! Kan ik niet je hart vermurwen, Wil je, als een schuwe vrome, Slechts van liefde blijven dromen, Ofwel mag ik toch nog komen? Slechts van liefde blijven dromen, Nee, zo bitter wil 'k niet boeten. Kom nu maar, jij zwart geoogde, Kom maar als de sterren groeten.
