Ist's dein Wille, süße Maid, Meinem heißen Liebesstreben Erst im Tode Raum zu geben, O da wart' ich lange Zeit! Soll ich deine Gunst genießen Erst nach meinem Erdengange, Währt mein Leben allzulange! Mag es gleich um Nu zerfließen! Ist's dein Wille, süße Maid, Meinem heißen Liebesstreben Erst im Tode Raum zu geben, O das ist gar lange Zeit, gar zu lange Zeit!

È la tua volontà, dolce fanciulla, Che il mio ardente anelito d'amore Abbia compenso solo nella morte, Ah quanto a lungo aspetterò! Potrò godere del tuo favore Solo dopo la mia dipartita, La mia vita dura molto a lungo! Potesse invece sfumare a breve! È la tua volontà, dolce fanciulla, Che il mio ardente anelito d'amore Abbia compenso solo nella morte, Ah è davvero un tempo troppo lungo!
