Since I first saw him, I think myself blind
I look around me and it's only him I see
His image floats before me so gentle and so kind
He has got a clear mind and firm courage
Oh, ring upon my finger, little golden ring
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart
Sisters come adorn me, banish foolish fear
Twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle
I serve him and live for him belong wholly to him
Give myself and find myself, transfigured by his brightness
Ring upon my finger, little golden ring
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart
The blissful dream of childhood has ended
Now I drink delicious d**h with you my love
Now you have me caused me my first pain, that really hurt
You sleep, you hard cruel man, the sleep of d**h
The veil falls, the bell tolls, the black shawls, the carriage rolls
You, my whole world
