Manche Thrän' aus meinen Augen Ist gefallen in den Schnee; Seine kalten Flocken saugen Durstig ein das heiße Weh. [Wann]1 die Gräser sprossen wollen, Weht daher ein lauer Wind, Und das Eis zerspringt in Schollen, Und der weiche Schnee zerrinnt. Schnee, du weißt von meinem Sehnen: [Sag mir, wohin]2 geht dein Lauf? Folge nach nur meinen Thränen, Nimmt dich bald das Bächlein auf. Wirst mit ihm die Stadt durchziehen, Muntre Straßen ein und aus: Fühlst du meine Thränen glühen, Da ist meiner Liebsten Haus.

In de sneeuw moet uit mijn ogen Meen'ge traan gevallen zijn. En de koude vlokken zogen Gretig op de hete pijn. Als de grassen willen groeien, Waait van ginds een lauwe wind En het ijs verbreekt zijn boeien En de zachte sneeuw ontbindt. Sneeuw, je weet van mijn verlangen, Zeg mij toch waarheen je gaat. 't Beekje zal je graag ontvangen, Als je met mijn tranen gaat. Je zult dan de stad door vloeien, Blije straten in en uit; Voel je plots mijn tranen gloeien, Dan woont daar mijn lieve bruid!
