Face of stone (Julia's side):
Indlich haft Du ubermunden, [Thou hast overcome liabilities]
Manche Schmere, harte Sfunden,[Some pain, hard hours]
Manchen Tag und Manche Nacht, [Many a day and many a night]
Haft Du in Schmerzen zu gebracht, [You have been in pain]
Slandhaft, haft du sie entragen. [Stand firm, you have to bear it]
Deine Schmerzen Deine Player,[Your pain, your troubles]
Bis der Tod Dein Auge brach, [Until death your eye broke?]
Doch Du Bist in Himmel wach. [But are you awake in Heaven]
Face of stone (Rudolph's side):
Weinend legen mir Dich nieder, [Weeping, I lay you down]
In Dein Shilles Schlasgemach, [Still in your bedroom]
Niemals Sehrst Du zu uns weider, [You never ? us again]
Darum meinen mir du nach, [So you mean to me]
Doch es Schlagt fur ums die shunde,
Wo mir Dich einst wieder sehen. [Where can I see you once again]
Wenn verent zum Schonscen Bunde, [When combined the sweetest alliance]
Bis var Gottes Throne Seben. [Until seeing God's throne]
