Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe, Du fliegst auf und singst so früh, Streuest durch die Himmelsbläue Deine süße Melodie. Die da schlafen noch am Morgen, Alle [Liebende]1 in Ruh', Mit dem zwitschernden Gesange Die Versunk'nen weckest du. Auf! nun auf! ihr Liebesschläfer, Weil die Morgenschwalbe rief; Denn die Nacht wird den betrügen, Der den hellen Tag verschlief.

Chère hirondelle, petite hirondelle, Tu voles haut et tu chantes si tôt, Semant à travers le bleu du ciel Ta douce mélodie. Ceux qui dorment encore dans le matin, Tous les amants qui se reposent, Avec le gazouillis de tes chants Tu les réveilles de leur sommeil. Debout ! debout maintenant ! amants endormis, Ainsi l'hirondelle appelle : Car la nuit trompera Celui qui dort pendant le jour brillant.
