Ich bin dein Baum, o Gärtner, dessen Treue
Mich hält in Liebespfleg' und süßer Zucht,
Komm, daß ich in den Schoß dir dankbar streue
Die reife, dir allein gewachs'ne Frucht.
Ich bin dein Gärtner, o du Baum der Treue!
Auf and'res Glück fühl ich nicht Eifersucht,
Die holden Äste find ich stets aufs Neue
Geschmückt mit Frucht, wo ich gepflückt die Frucht.

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)
Yo soy tu árbol, oh jardinero, cuya fidelidad
Me mantiene con amorosos cuidados y dulce cultivo.
Ven, para que con mis brotes te obsequie, agradecida,
La fruta madura, crecida sólo para ti.
¡Yo soy tu jardinero, oh árbol de la fidelidad!
De la felicidad de otros no siento celos,
Porque a las queridas ramas encuentro una y otra vez
De frutos ornadas, y de ellas tomé yo el fruto.
