Sennym różom śpiew uroczy Znów słowiku dzwoń! A ty zmruż swe cudne oczy, I sny złote goń! Pełne czarów chwile owe, Gdym twą pieścił dłoń, I twe usta koralowe... Goń sny złote, goń! Gdy akacja trzęsła biała Perły na twą skroń I rozkoszą pierś tak wrzała, Goń sny złote, goń, sny goń! Bo nie wróci raj stracony, Choć znów wróci woń! Światło gwiazd i śpiew stęskniony, Goń sny złote, goń, o sny złote goń!

Schlaftrunk'nen Rosen töne dein entzückend Gesang, Nachtigall, oh Nachtigall! Deine wundervollen Augen blinzeln, folge Träumen, goldnen Träumen, Wo ich, erfüllt von des Zaubers Augenblick, koste, koste diese, deine Hand, Und die korallenroten Lippen, folg' goldnen Träumen, folg' ihnen nach, Wo die Akazie, die Weiße, Perlen auf deine Schläfe goß und Wonne wallte in der Brust, Den goldnen Träumen folge, folge nach! Nicht das verlor'ne Paradies kehrt wieder, doch kehret zurück der Duft! Sternenlicht und sehnsüchtig Lied, folg' gold'nen Träumen, folg' ihnen nach!
