Glaubt mir, wie schön, so ist sie treu! See the golden things I’ve brought Quite worthless trifles when compar’d With the riches in his vessel’s hold. And all his treasures will be shar’d, All his diamonds and all his gold, With thee, my child, if thou wilt say That thou wilt bless him with thy love, And be his wife without delay; Wed him, Senta, give him thy love!
Reich’ ihm die Hand, denn Bräutigam sollst Du ihn heissen; Stimmst Du dem Vater bei, ist morgen er Dein Mann. And you, my new-found friend, say true, Does she suit to be your wife? Why should I praise what’s only true And will be blessing all your life? And thou, my child, be good and true Give him thy hand and hold him dear, And, Senta, thou wilt never rue That I have brought thy husband here.
Heigho! heigho! heigho On Southland’s coast, in far off land, My girl, I thought of thee! All o’er the main, from tropic coast, A gift I brought for thee; My love I bring a golden toy Come, Southwind, blow again! Southwind, thou art a lovely boy, If thou wilt blow again. Hoho! ho! jolohe! heigho! Die Frist ist um, und abermals verstrichen Sind sieben Jahr!
