German text
- Ein dunkeler Schacht ist Liebe
- ein gar zu gefährlicher Bronnen;
- da fiel ich hinein, ich Armer,
- kann weder hören noch sehn,
- nur denken an meine Wonnen,
- nur stöhnen, in meinem Wehn.
English translation
by Cayuga Vocal Ensemble
Love is a dark pit,
a far too dangerous well;
and poor me, I fell into it.
Now I can neither hear nor see;
I can only remember my delight,
only groan in my misery.
