Schon streckt' ich aus im Bett die müden Glieder, Da tritt dein Bildnis vor mich hin, du Traute. Gleich spring' ich auf, fahr' in die Schuhe wieder Und wandre durch die Stadt mit meiner Laute. Ich sing' und spiele, daß die Straße schallt; So Manche lauscht - vorüber bin ich bald. So manches Mädchen hat mein Lied gerührt, Indeß der Wind schon Sang und Klang entführt.

Ja havia estirat els meus cansats membres al llit quan davant meu aparegué la teva imatge, tu, estimada. A l’instant, vaig saltar del llit, em vaig tornar a posar les sabates i vaig errar per la ciutat amb el meu llaüt. Cantava i tocava per tal de què el carrer ressonés; moltes dones escoltaven – vaig passar de pressa. A moltes noies ha commogut la meva cançó, quan el vent s’emportà el cant i el so.
