So hab' ich endlich dich gerettet Mir aus der Menge wilden Reihn! Du bist in meinen Arm [gekettet]1, Du bist nun mein, nun einzig mein. Es schlummert alles diese Stunde, Nur wir noch leben auf der Welt; Wie in der Wasser stillem Grunde Der Meergott seine Göttin hält. Verrauscht ist all das rohe Tosen, Das deine Worte mir verschlang; Dein leises, liebevolles Kosen Ist nun mein einz'ger, süßer Klang. Die Erde liegt in Nacht gehüllet, Kein Licht erglänzt auf Flur und Teich; Nur dieser Lampe Schimmer füllet Noch unsrer Liebe kleines Reich.

Ainsi, je t'ai finalement délivrée Des rangs de cette violente foule ! Tu es enchaînée à mon bras, Tu es maintenant à moi, à moi seul ! À cette heure tout dort, Nous seuls vivons encore en ce monde ; Comme dans le silencieux fond des eaux, Le dieu de la mer retient sa déesse. Il a disparu tout ce brutal tumulte Qui en moi engloutissait tes paroles ; Ton doux babillage amoureux Est maintenant ma seule et douce mélodie. La terre repose enveloppée de nuit, Aucune lumière ne brille sur champs ou étang ; Seule la lueur de cette lampe emplit Encore le petit royaume de notre amour !
