Es haben unsre Herzen
Geschlossen die heilge Allianz;
Sie lagen fest aneinander,
Und sie verstanden sich ganz.
Ach, nur die junge Rose,
Die deine Brust geschmückt,
Die arme Bundesgenossin,
Sie wurde fast zerdrückt.

Nos cœurs ont conclu
La sainte alliance ;
Ils sont serrés l'un contre l'autre
Et ils s'accordent bien.
Ah, hélas la rose fraîche
Qui orne ta poitrine,
Pauvre compagne de notre union,
Va bientôt être écrasée.
