Und du kamest in mein Haus, kamst mit deinen schwarzen Blicken; sah ich ferne Palmen nicken und du gabst mir deinen Strauß. Gabst die zitternden Narzissen, die wir in der [Wüste]1 pflückten. Deine schwarzen Locken schmückten meines Divans rote Kissen. Kehre wieder in mein Haus, laß die wilden Blumen blühen, unsre junge Lippen glühen, Gib mir, gib mir deinen Strauß!

Et tu vins dans ma maison, vins avec ton regard noir ; je vis de lointaines palmes se courber et tu me donnas ton bouquet. Tu donnas le narcisse tremblant, que nous avions cueilli dans l'ivresse. Tes boucles noires ornaient les rouges coussins de mon divan. Reviens dans ma maison fais fleurir les fleurs sauvages, briller nos jeunes lèvres, Donne-moi, donne-moi ton bouquet !
