Nimm du mein Schifflein, freundliche Wiege, Zwischen zwey Himmel rettend mich auf, Furche die Bläue und es besiege Tändelnde Wellen spielend dein Lauf. Sinket und steiget wechselnden Schlages Plätschernde Ruder, hüpfendes Herz! Ungleiche Kinder [selbigen]1 Tages, Schenket die Liebe, Freude [wie]2 Schmerz. Günstige Lüfte, treibet nach Morgen, Füllet die Segel, kräuselt die Fluth! [Weichet gen Abend]3, grämliche Sorgen! Lächle mir Hoffnung fröhlichen Muth! Gaukelnde Möven, bunte Libellen, Springende Fischlein folget der Fahrt! Glückliche wollen mir sich gesellen Seit ich von Herzen glücklicher ward. Feiert ihr Ruder, Segel hernieder! Lande nur sachte, gleitender Kahn! Fluthender Spiegel, siehst mich nicht wieder, Ebne des Schiffers schwindende Bahn.

Accetta, mia piccola barca, culla gentile di tenermi protetto in mezzo a due cieli. Solca l'azzurro e affronta vincendole le onde che giocano lungo il tuo cammino. Salgono e scendono con impeto alterno, sciaborda il remo, il cuore sobbalza, figli ineguali di giorni beati ci dona l'amore: gioia e dolore! Venti propizi, al mattino spingono la vela rigonfia, increspano i flutti, Si calmano, a sera, le ansie più cupe, Speranza, sorridimi con volto gioioso. Gabbiani in volo, colorate libellule, pesci guizzanti, accompagnano il viaggio. Chi è allegro mi vuole esser compagno da quando io sono lieto dal profondo del cuore. Riposatevi remi, abbassatevi vele, approda mia barca, scivolando lieve, specchio fluttuante, non mi vedrai di nuovo, svanisce spianandosi la scia della barca.
