Geh' nicht, die Gott für mich erschuf! Laß scharren deiner Rosse Huf Den Reiseruf! Du willst von meinem Herde fliehn? Und weißt ja nicht, wohin, wohin Dich deine Rosse ziehn! Die Stunde rinnt! Das Leben jagt! Wir haben uns noch nichts gesagt Bleib bis es tagt! Du darfst aus meinen Armen fliehn? Und weißt ja nicht, wohin, wohin Dich deine Rosse ziehn...

Ne pars pas, toi que Dieu a créée pour moi Laisse les sabots de ton cheval racler le sol Sur la route du départ ! Tu veux partir de mon foyer ? Et tu ne sais pas où, où Ton cheval te mènera ! Les heures s'écoulent, la vie passe ! Nous ne nous sommes encore rien dit, Reste jusqu'au lever du jour ! Faut-il que tu fuies mes bras ? Sans me savoir où, où Tes chevaux te mèneront …
