Bei dir ist es traut, zage Uhren schlagen wie aus [alten]1 Tagen, komm mir ein Liebes sagen, aber nur nicht laut! Ein Tor geht irgendwo draußen im Blütentreiben, der Abend horcht an den Scheiben, laß uns leise bleiben, keiner weiß uns so!

Avec toi c'est bon, les heures timides sonnent comme autrefois, viens et dis-moi un mot d'amour, mais pas trop fort ! On entend un portail venant du monde en fleurs, le soir écoute aux fenêtres, gardons le silence, que personne ne sache où nous sommes.
