Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder!
Meine Augen schlag' ich nieder,
Wie ertappt auf böser That;
Selber darf ich nicht getrauen,
Ihrem Wachsen zuzuschauen:
Deine Neugier ist Verrath.
Bienen, wenn sie Zellen bauen,
Lassen auch nicht zu sich schauen,
Schauen selber auch nicht zu.
[Wann]1 die reichen Honigwaben
Sie zu Tag gefördert haben,
Dann vor allen nasche du!

¡No miréis mis canciones!
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the German (Deutsch)
¡No miréis mis canciones!
Mis ojos, bajo,
Cual si me hubiesen pillado en medio de un delito.
No soy capaz siquiera
De verlas crecer.
¡Vuestra curiosidad es traición!
Las abejas, al construir sus celdas,
Tampoco se dejan ver;
Ni siquiera entre ellas.
Cuando los ricos panales
Vean la luz del día,
¡Entonces seréis el primero en probarlos!
