Du mein Gedanke, du mein Sein und Werden!
De meines Herzens erste Seligkeit!
Ich liebe dich wie nichts auf dieser Erden,
Ich liebe dich in Zeit und Ewigkeit!
Ich denke dein, kann stets nur deiner denken,
Nur deinem Glück ist dieses Herz geweiht;
Wie Gott auch mag des Lebens Schicksal lenken,
Ich liebe dich in Zeit und Ewigkeit.

Tu, el meu pensament, el meu ésser, la meva existència!

Penso en tu, només puc sempre pensar en tu,
només a la teva felicitat està dedicat aquest cor;
igual que Déu pot dirigir el destí de la vida,
T’estimo ara i per sempre més!
