Fetter grüne, du Laub,
Am Rebengeländer
Hier [mein Fenster herauf!]1
Gedrängter quellet,
Zwillingsbeeren, und reifet
Schneller und glänzend [voller]2!
Euch brütet der Mutter Sonne
Scheideblick, euch umsäuselt
Des holden Himmels
Fruchtende Fülle;
Euch kühlet des Mondes
Freundlicher Zauberhauch,
Und euch betauen, ach!
Aus diesen Augen
Der ewig belebenden Liebe
Voll schwellende Tränen.

Feuillage d'un vert généreux
Sur la pergola de la vigne,
Grimpe jusqu'à ma fenêtre !
Pressez-vous de grossir,
Grains jumeaux, et mûrissez
Plus vite pour briller davantage !
Notre père le soleil vous couve
De ses derniers rayons, vous entoure
De la plénitude fécondante
Du ciel bénéfique ;
Le souffle aimable et magique
De la lune vous rafraîchit,
Et, hélas ! De ces yeux
Vous êtes couverts de rosée,
Larmes foisonnantes
D'un amour éternellement vivant.
