Komm, Liebchen, komm! Die Nacht ist hell, Und frische Lüftchen gaukeln. Wie möcht' ich dich auf leiser Well' Mit [schlankem Kahne]1 schaukeln. Komm, Liebchen, komm! Uns ruft die Nacht, Mein Herz schlägt treu und ehrlich; Die Mutter schläft, dein Liebster wacht, Was wäre da gefährlich?

Viens, Mina, viens! le soir est beau et Zéphir fait sa ronde. Que je voudrais dans mon bateau te balancer sur l'onde. Viens, Mina, viens! je meurs sans toi, la douce nuit t'appelle; ta mère dort, je veille moi, que craindrais-tu, ma belle?
