Ich bin durch einen schönen Wald gekommen, Wo grüner Lorbeer und Wachholder stand; Drin hab' ich einen Jüngling wahrgenommen, Der war mit Namen Herzensdieb genannt. Daß Ihr derselbe seid, hab' ich vernommen, An Euren Farben hab' ich Euch erkannt; An Eurer Schönheit kannt' ich Euch im Nu, - Man warnt vor Euch: ich lache nur dazu.

J'ai traversé une belle forêt, Où poussent le laurier et le genévrier ; Là j'ai remarqué un adolescent Connu sous le nom de voleur de cœur. Que vous soyez celui-ci, je l'ai pressenti, Je vous ai identifié à vos couleurs ; À votre beauté je vous ai reconnu sur le champ, On met en garde contre vous, je ne fais qu'en rire.
