No lloréis, ojuelos, porque no es razón que llore de celos quien mata de amor. Quien puede matar no intente morir, si hace con reír más que con llorar. No lloréis ojuelos, porque no es razón que llore de celos quien mata de amor.

Weint nicht, ihr Äuglein! Wie kann so trübe weinen vor Eifersucht, wer tödtet durch Liebe? Wer selbst Tod bringt, der sollt' ihn ersehnen? Sein Lächeln bezwingt was trotzt seinen Tränen. Weint nicht, ihr Äuglein! Wie kann so trübe weinen vor Eifersucht, wer tödtet durch Liebe?
