Mutter, Mutter! glaube nicht, Weil ich ihn lieb' also sehr, Daß nun Liebe mir gebricht, Dich zu lieben wie vorher. Mutter, Mutter! seit ich ihn Liebe, lieb' ich erst dich sehr. Laß mich an mein Herz dich zieh'n Und dich küssen, wie mich er. Mutter, Mutter! seit ich ihn Liebe, lieb' ich erst dich ganz, Daß du mir das Sein verlieh'n, Das mir ward zu solchem Glanz.

Mare, mare, no creguis que Perquè jo l'estimo tant Que ara l'amor (cap a ell) no em permet estimar-te, com abans. Mare, mare, des que l'estimo t'estimo ara més. Deixa'm apretar-te amb el meu cor I besar-te, com ell em besa! Mare, mare! Des que l'estimo Per primer cop t'estimo completament que tu m'has donat l'existència que ha esdevingut tan radiant.
