Sagt ihm, daß er zu mir komme, Denn je mehr sie mich drum schelten, Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut! O zum Wanken Bringt die Liebe nichts auf Erden; Durch ihr Zanken Wird sie nur gedoppelt werden. Sie gefährden Mag nicht [ihrer]1 Neider Wut; Denn je mehr sie mich drum schelten, Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut! Eingeschlossen Haben sie mich lange Tage; Unverdrossen Mich gestraft mit schlimmer Plage; Doch ich trage Jede Pein mit Liebesmut, [Und]2 je mehr sie mich drum schelten, Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut! Meine Peiniger Sagen oft, ich soll dich lassen, Doch nur einiger Woll'n wir uns ins Herze fassen. Muß ich drum erblassen, Tod um Liebe lieblich tut, Und je mehr sie mich drum schelten, Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut!

Tell him to come to me Because the more they tell me off about it The hotter my passion becomes! Oh, it cannot be shaken; Nothing on earth can shake love. Through their picking rows about it They only manage to double it. It cannot be put at risk By their envious rage. Because the more they tell me off about it The hotter my passion becomes! Locked up! They have locked me up for days on end. They have indefatigably Punished me with terrible torments, But I bear Each pain with the courage of love. Because the more they tell me off about it The hotter my passion becomes! My torturers Often tell me to leave you, But that makes us even more united In our desire to grasp each other's heart. So if I have to fade away Death rewards love with love, And the more they tell me off about it The hotter my passion becomes!
