Wie die Wellenschaumgeborene Strahlt mein Lieb im Schönheitsglanz, Denn sie ist das auserkorene Bräutchen eines fremden Manns. Herz, mein Herz, du vielgeduldiges, Grolle nicht ob dem Verrat; Trag es, trag es, und entschuldig es, Was die holde Törin tat.

Comme né de l'écume des vagues, Mon amour rayonne dans l'éclat de sa beauté, Car elle est l'épousée Choisie par un homme inconnu. Cœur, mon cœur, toi si patient, Ne garde pas rancune de sa trahison ; Supporte, supporte et excuse Ce que la gracieuse folle t'a fait.
