Und willst du deinen Liebsten sterben sehen, So trage nicht dein Haar gelockt, du Holde. Laß von den Schultern frei sie niederwehen; Wie Fäden sehn sie aus von purem Golde. Wie goldne Fäden, die der Wind bewegt - Schön sind die Haare, schön ist, die sie trägt! Goldfäden, Seidenfäden ungezählt - Schön sind die Haare, schön ist, die sie strählt!

Et si tu vois ton bien-aimé mourir, Alors ne mets pas tes cheveux en tresses, ma chère. Laisse-les flotter sur tes épaules ; Ils ressemblent à des fils d'or pur. Comme des fils dorés que le vent agite. Comme tes cheveux sont beaux, comme elle est belle, celle qui les porte ! Fils d'or, innombrables fils de soie, Comme tes cheveux sont beaux, comme elle est belle, celle qui les porte !
