In der Früh, in der Früh, wenn die [Sonn']1 erwacht, [Von dem Fenster bieg']2 ich die Reben, Hab' geträumet von dir [wohl]3 die ganze Nacht. Grüß dich Gott, grüß dich Gott, du mein Leben! Über Tag, über Tag, was ich schaff' und tu, Blick ich hundert Mal um die Reben, Denn mein Sinnen ist dein und mein Denken bist du, Grüß dich Gott, grüß dich Gott, du mein Leben! Und [zu Nacht, und zu]4 Nacht, bei der Sterne Schein, Schlägt der Wind [mir]3 an's Fenster die Reben, Wach ich auf, denk' ich dein, über's Jahr bist du mein, [Grüß dich Gott, grüß dich Gott, du mein Leben]5!
J. Marx sets stanzas 1, 3

De matinada, de matinada, quan el sol es desperta, miro les vinyes de la finestra, he somniat en tu tota la nit. Bon dia Déu, bon dia Déu, Tu la meva vida! De dia, de dia, el que jo creo i faig, mirar cent vegades les vinyes, els meus sentits són teus i el meu pensament ets tu, bon dia Déu, bon dia Déu, Tu la meva vida! I de nit, de nit, a la llum de les estrelles, el vent colpeja les vinyes contra la finestra em desperto, penso en tu, ets meva durant ot l'any, bon dia Déu, bon dia Déu, Tu la meva vida!
