Im tiefen Wald im Dornenhag, da schläft die Jungfrau hundert Jahr, es schläft die Flieg an der Wand, in dem Schloß Hund und Roß, es schläft wohl auf dem Herd der Brand. Der Ritter zog sein Schwert da frisch und hieb sich ab das Dorngebüsch, und ging hinein ins Königshaus, ins Kämmerlein zum Bettelein, küßt auf den Mund die schlafende Braut. Da wacht das schöne Mägdelein, schenkt ihm ir feines Ringelein, die Flieg erwachet an der Wand, in dem Schloß Hund und Roß, auf dem Herd erwacht der Feuerbrand.

Au fond de la forêt, parmi les épines Dort une jeune fille depuis cent ans, La mouche dort sur le mur, Dans le château Chien et cheval Dorment, comme le feu dans l'âtre. Le chevalier tire vivement son épée Et taille son chemin dans les buissons d'épines Pour atteindre la maison royale, La petite chambre, Le petit lit, Et il embrasse sur la bouche la fiancée endormie. Alors la belle jeune fille se réveille Et lui offre son beau petit anneau ; La mouche sur le mur se réveille, Dans le château Chien et cheval, Et feu dans l'âtre se réveillent.
