Auf deinem Grunde haben Sie an verborgnem Ort Den goldnen Schatz begraben, Der Nibelungen Hort. Ihn wahren deine Wellen Bis an den Jüngsten Tag, Zu der geheimen Stellen Kein Räuber dringen mag. Mir ward ins Herz gesenket Ein Schatz, gleich wie dem Rhein, Er ist darin ertränket, Wird ewig drinnen sein.

In your depths you have buried in a secret place the golden treasure - the hoard of the Nibelungen. Your waves preserve it until the Day of Judgment; to that secret place no robber may penetrate. I have also sunk into my heart a treasure, just as in the Rhine: it has drowned in there and will remain there forever.
