Wahre, wahre deinen Sohn,
Nachbarin, vor Wehe,
weil ich ihn mit schwarzem Aug'
zu bezaubern gehe.
O wie brennt das Auge mir,
das zu Zünden fordert!
Flammet ihm die Seele nicht --
deine Hütte lodert.

Neighbouress, protect your son
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Neighbouress, protect your son
from tremendous anguish,
for with shining eyes I shall
try to make him languish.
Oh, that fire of my eyes
craves to light more fire!
Should his soul not burn, your house
burns, lit by my ire.
