Det stiger, det stiger, det stiger herop
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Det stiger, det stiger, det stiger herop; Bækken vandrer mod Fjældet. Det er uhørt Leg; er jeg ældet? o nej, Jeg er fældet paa Vej, Jeg er angst for mit Liv, Kunde dø for min Kniv; Hvor er Kongens Dyveke henne? - Véd ej, kan ej selv hende kende. De hvisler omkring mig som Snoge, Maa lukke mine Øjenlaage; De trykker min Haand, Jeg tør ej, jeg véd - Jeg er angst, jeg er hed, Jeg er træt af mig selv, af min Leg er jeg led; Jeg er ræddelig stedt i den bitreste Nød. Jesus Maria, hvem der var død!

Sie steigen empor
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Sie steigen, sie steigen, sie steigen empor, bergwärts strömen die Bäche. Das ist grausam Spiel; bin ich alt schon? ach nein; doch in Jammer und Pein, und mein Leben bedroht, überall winkt der Tod. Was ist Königs Täubchen geschehen? Weiss nicht, kann es selbst nicht verstehen. Sie zischen, ob Nattern rings schiessen, ich muss meine Augen schliessen; man drückt mir die Hand, nicht wag' ich's, ich weiss mir ist angst, mir ist heiss, ich bin müde vom Glanz, meines Spiels bin ich müd'; ich bin grausam gestellt in die bitterste Not. Jesus Maria, wär' ich doch tot!
