Wunden trägst du mein Geliebter, Und sie schmerzen dich; Trüg' ich sie statt deiner, ich! Herr, wer wagt' es so zu färben Deine Stirn mit Blut und Schweiß? "Diese Male sind der Preis, Dich, o Seele, zu erwerben. An den Wunden muß ich sterben, Weil ich dich geliebt so heiß." Könnt' ich, Herr, für dich sie tragen, Da es Todeswunden sind. "Wenn dies Leid dich rührt, mein Kind, Magst du Lebenswunden sagen: Ihrer keine ward geschlagen, Draus für dich nicht Leben rinnt." Ach, wie mir in Herz und Sinnen Deine Qual so wehe tut! "Härtres noch mit treuem Mut Trüg' ich froh, dich zu gewinnen; Denn nur der weiß recht zu minnen, Der da stirbt vor Liebesglut." Wunden trägst du mein Geliebter, Und sie schmerzen dich; Trüg' ich sie statt deiner, ich!

Portes ferides, tu estimat meu i elles et causen dolor oh, si jo les pogués sofrir en lloc de tu! Senyor, qui ha gosat de tacar el teu front amb sang i suor? “Aquestes taques són el preu per salvar-te, oh ànima. D’aquestes ferides haig de morir, perquè tan ferventment t’he estimat.” Podria jo, Senyor, sofrir-les per tu, car són ferides mortals. “Si aquest dolor et commou, fill meu, les pots anomenar ferides de vida: cap d’elles ha estat feta d’on no raja la vida per a tu.” Ai, com, en el meu cor i la meva ànima, em fa mal el teu dolor! “De més durs en suportaria amb fidel coratge, joiós, per guanyar-te; car només qui sap estimar de veritat, mor del fervor de l’amor.” Portes ferides, tu estimat meu i elles et causen dolor oh, si jo les pogués sofrir en lloc de tu!
