German text
- An jeder Hand die Finger
- hatt' ich bedeckt mit Ringen,
- die mir geschenkt mein Bruder
- in seinem Liebessinn.
- Und einen nach dem andern
- gab ich dem schönen,
- aber unwürdigen Jüngling hin.
English translation
by Emily Ezust of The Lied and Art Song Page used with translator's permission
- On each hand were my fingers
- bedecked with rings
- that my brother had bestowed on me
- with love.
- And one after another
- did I give to that handsome
- but unworthy lad.
