Schenk mir deinen goldenen Kamm
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE NOR
Schenk mir deinen goldenen Kamm;
Jeder Morgen soll dich mahnen,
Daß du mir die Haare küßtest.
Schenk mir deinen seidenen Schwamm;
Jeden Abend will ich ahnen,
Wem du dich im Bade rüstest,
O Maria!
Schenk mir Alles, was du hast;
Meine Seele ist nicht eitel,
Stolz empfang ich deinen Segen.
Schenk mir deine schwerste Last:
Willst du nicht auf meinen Scheitel
Auch dein Herz, dein Herz noch legen,
Magdalena?

Jésus mendie
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Offre-moi ton peigne doré ;
Chaque matin te rappellera
Que tu m'embrassais les cheveux.
Offre-moi ton éponge de soie ;
Chaque soir je devinerai
Pour qui au bain tu te prépares,
Ô Marie !
Offre-moi tout ce que tu as ;
Mon âme est sans vanité,
Je reçois avec fierté ta bénédiction.
Offre-moi ton fardeau le plus lourd :
Ne veux-tu point sur ma chevelure
Poser aussi ton cœur, ton cœur,
Madeleine ?
