Original text and translations

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 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. Translation by Cayuga Vocal Ensemble
