Ward euch ihrer minder, |
Even if the number of joys decreased, |
als die Kindheit floh, |
once childhood flew, |
wallte nicht gesünder |
did your breast later not prove |
eure Brust und froh? |
healthier and happy? |
Bei der Liebe Sehnen |
You were wishing for more |
wünschtet ihr euch mehr, |
when you were longing for love, |
blühten junge Schönen |
and young passionate beauties |
fühlend um euch her. |
were blossoming around you. |
