Aus Wolken [kommt]1 die frohe Stunde, O Mensch, gesunde! Lass Leiden [seyn]2 und Bangigkeit, Wenn Liebchens Kuss dein Herz erfreut. In Küssen weht ein Zaubersegen, Drum sey verwegen, Was [schadet's]3, wenn der Donner rollt, Wenn nur der rothe Mund nicht schmollt.

From the heavens [comes]1 the joyous time, O man, be well! Let suffering [be]2, and timidity, When the kiss of your sweetheart delights your heart. Kissing wafts a magical blessing, So be bold! [What is the harm]3 when thunder rolls, So long as those red lips do not pout?
