Was soll der Zorn, mein Schatz, der dich erhitzt?
Ich bin mir keiner Sünde ja bewußt,
Ach, lieber nimm ein Messer wohlgespitzt
Und tritt zu mir, durchbohre mir die Brust.
Und taugt ein Messer nicht, so nimm ein Schwert,
Daß meines Blutes Quell gen Himmel fährt.
Und taugt ein Schwert nicht, nimm des Dolches Stahl
Und wasch' in meinem Blut all meine Qual.

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Pourquoi cette colère, mon trésor, qui t'enflamme ?
Je ne suis consciente d'aucune faute,
Ah, prends plutôt un couteau bien affûté
Et viens vers moi et perce ma poitrine,
Et si un couteau ne peut servir, alors prends une épée,
Pour que la fontaine de mon sang monte jusqu'au ciel.
Et si une épée ne peut servir, prends l'acier d'un poignard
Et lave dans mon sang toute ma douleur.
