Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE HEB
Heb' auf dein blondes Haupt und schlafe nicht,
Und laß dich ja vom Schlummer nicht betören.
Ich sage dir vier Worte von Gewicht,
Von denen darfst du keines überhören.
Das erste: daß um dich mein Herze bricht,
Das zweite: dir nur will ich angehören,
Das dritte: daß ich dir mein Heil befehle,
Das letzte: dich allein liebt meine Seele.

Lift up your blond head and do not sleep
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Lift up your blond head and do not sleep,
And do not let yourself be lured by slumber.
I will tell you four things of weight,
None of which must you miss.
The first: for you my heart is breaking,
The second: I want to belong only to you,
The third: that I entrust my salvation to you,
The last: my soul loves you alone.
