Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes,
das mir in die Brust, die kühle,
hat geschleudert mit dem Blicke
diese wilden Glutgefühle!
Willst du nicht dein Herz erweichen,
willst du, eine Überfromme,
rasten ohne traute Wonne,
oder willst du, daß ich komme?
Rasten ohne traute Wonne,
nicht so bitter will ich büßen.
Komme nur, du schwarzes Auge.
Komme, wenn die Sterne grüßen.

告訴我，我甚愛的女孩
闖入我冷漠之心的女孩
一瞥之下的
瘋狂、燃燒的熱情！
妳難道不願軟下心來？
妳難道想永持貞心，
不碰愛情之喜悅？
還是妳等待著我來找妳？
永不碰愛情，
這是不可能的苦修！
來吧，深邃的雙目，
在眾星出現時前來！
