What use is a proud destiny?"She sings it quietly, she sings it from her heart,
And afterward, she sings "Bubi, Schatzi!"
With that, the prince opens his eyes
and asks with a broken voice, "where am I?"
But barely after recognizing his beloved,
He shouts, "No one will call me a liar!"
And he tries to rip the fresh bandages
from his bloody wound.
Mathilde, however, cannot endure it.
She cries, "You belong to the fatherland,
I'm just a mere common girl,
Be free, my love! I relinquish thee!"
And she kisses him once more with quivering mouth.
