Wenn du mich mit den Augen streifst und lachst,
Sie senkst, und neigst das Kinn zum Busen dann,
Bitt' ich, daß du mir erst ein Zeichen machst,
Damit ich doch mein Herz auch bänd'gen kann,
Daß ich mein Herz mag bänd'gen, zahm und still,
Wenn es vor großer Liebe springen will,
Daß ich mein Herz mag halten in der Brust,
Wenn es ausbrechen will vor großer Lust.

Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Quand tu tournes tes yeux vers moi et que tu ris,
Alors baisse-les et penche ton menton vers ta poitrine,
Je t'en prie, d'abord fais-moi un signe,
Que je puisse maîtriser mon cœur,
Que je puisse maîtriser et calmer mon cœur,
Quand il bondira d'un grand amour,
Pour je puisse garder mon cœur dans ma poitrine,
Quand il voudra éclater d'une grande joie.
