Zwei Geliebte, treu verbunden, Gehen durch die Welt spazoren, Jedes hat sein Herz verloren, Doch das Andre hat's gefunden. Jeder trägt die leichte Last Wie die Uhr am Kettchen fast. Also geht's auf Steg und Wegen Ruhig fort mit gleichen Schlägen. "Schau, die können's!" sagen ferne An der Himmelshöh' die Sterne. "Wer sind sie?" gleich schrei'n [sie]1 da: "Sigmund und Emilia!"

Twee geliefden, trouw verbonden, Gaan nu trekken verre sporen, Ieder heeft zijn hart verloren, Maar de ander heeft ’t gevonden. Ieder draagt de lichte last, Als een klokje aan zich vast. Zo gaan zij op pad en wegen Rustig voort met kalme schreden. “Kijk, die kunnen ‘t” zeggen verre Aan het hemeldak de sterren. “Wie zijn zij?” Luid klinkt daarna: “Sigmund en Emilia!”
