Könnt' ich dich in Liedern preisen, Säng' ich dir das längste Lied. Ja, ich würd' in allen Weisen Dich zu singen nimmer müd'! Doch was immer mich betrübte, Ist, daß ich nur immer stumm Tragen kann dich, Herzgeliebte, In des Busens Heiligtum. Und daß du, was laut ich sage, Oder preis' in Sangeslust, Meinest, daß ich tiefer trage Als dich, Herz, in warmer Brust. Dieser Schmerz hat mich bezwungen, Daß ich sang dies kleine Lied, Doch von bitterm [Leid]1 durchdrungen, Daß noch keins auf dich geriet.

Se potessi lodarti nelle canzoni, canterei il canto più lungo. Sì, in tutti modi e le melodie non mi stancherei mai di cantarti! Ma ciò che sempre mi addolora è che solo sempre muto posso portarti, mia adorata, nella santità del mio cuore. E che tu dici che ciò che io dico forte, o celebro nella gioia del canto, lo porto più profondo di te, cuore, nel caldo petto. Questa pena mi ha costretto a cantare questa piccola canzone, ma così piena di amaro dolore che nessuno la dedicherebbe a te.
