Ach, des Knaben Augen sind Mir so schön und klar erschienen, Und ein Etwas strahlt aus ihnen, Das mein ganzes Herz gewinnt. Blickt' er doch mit diesen süßen Augen nach den meinen hin! Säh' er dann sein Bild darin, Würd' er wohl mich liebend grüßen. Und so geb' ich ganz mich hin, Seinen Augen nur zu dienen, Denn ein Etwas strahlt aus ihnen, Das mein ganzes Herz gewinnt.

Ai, els ulls de l’infant m’han semblat tan bells i tan clars, i quelcom brilla en ells que ha captivat el meu cor sencer. Si tan sols esguardés amb els seus dolços ulls a l’interior dels meus, veuria llavors la seva imatge i potser amorosament em saludaria. I així jo em donaria enterament tan sols per servir els seus ulls, car quelcom brilla en ells que ha captivat el meu cor sencer.
