Ich bin dein Baum, o Gärtner, dessen Treue
Mich hält in Liebespfleg' und süßer Zucht,
Komm, daß ich in den Schoß dir dankbar streue
Die reife, dir allein gewachs'ne Frucht.
Ich bin dein Gärtner, o du Baum der Treue!
Auf and'res Glück fühl ich nicht Eifersucht,
Die holden Äste find ich stets aufs Neue
Geschmückt mit Frucht, wo ich gepflückt die Frucht.

Sou a tua árvore, jardineiro
Language: Portuguese (Português) after the German (Deutsch)
Sou a tua árvore, jardineiro, cuja fidelidade
Me sustém em cuidados amorosos e doce cultivo,
Vem, para que te espalhe no colo com gratidão
O fruto maduro que fiz crescer para ti.
Sou o teu jardineiro, ó árvore da fidelidade!
Não sinto ciúmes da felicidade dos outros,
Os graciosos ramos, encontro sempre de novo
Enfeitados de frutos, onde eu colhi os frutos.
