Meine Laute hab' ich gehängt an die Wand, Hab' sie umschlungen mit einem grünen Band - Ich kann nicht mehr singen, mein Herz ist zu voll, Weiß nicht, wie ich's in Reime zwingen soll. Meiner Sehnsucht allerheißesten Schmerz Durft' ich aushauchen in [Liederscherz]1, Und wie ich klagte so süß und fein, [Meint']2 ich doch, mein Leiden wär' nicht klein. Ei, wie groß ist wohl meines Glückes Last, Daß kein Klang auf Erden es in sich faßt? Nun, liebe Laute, ruh' an dem Nagel hier! Und weht ein Lüftchen über die Saiten dir, Und streift eine Biene mit ihren Flügeln dich, Da wird [mir]3 bange und es durchschauert mich. Warum ließ ich das Band auch hängen so lang? Oft fliegt's um die Saiten mit seufzendem Klang. Ist es der Nachklang meiner Liebespein? Soll es das Vorspiel neuer Lieder sein?

Eu pendurei meu alaúde na parede E o entrelacei com uma fita verde - Eu não posso mais cantar, meu coração está cheio demais, Não sei como é que posso forçar uma rima. A escaldante dor do meu desejo Eu conseguia pôr para fora em canções jocosas, E quando eu lamentava de forma doce e refinada Eu acreditava que minha dor não era pequena. Ai! Quão grande é a carga da minha alegria, Que nenhum som na terra a pode abarcar? Agora, caro alaúde, descanse pendurado nesse prego aqui! E se uma brisa soprar sobre suas cordas E se uma abelha te roçar com suas asas, Então eu vou ficar completamente tomado de medo. Por que é que eu deixei a fita pendurada por tanto tempo? Frequentemente a fita passa pelas cordas fazendo um som de suspiros. É esse o eco da minha dor de amor? Seria esse o prelúdio de novas canções?
