O weine nicht, o freue dich

O weine nicht, o freue dich,
Bin ich auch fern von dir,
Ob nah', ob fern -- ich denke dein,
Die Liebe zieht mit mir.
Sie schickt den Traum mir in der Nacht,
Ist mir am Tag Geleit,
Sie flüstert: Bleibe treu, o Herz,
Bleib' treu in Freud und Leid!
[In]1 Freud' und Leid ich bleibe treu,
Ich liebe dich allein,
Ich finde ja kein' lieber Lieb,
Wie könnt’ ich untreu seyn!

Oh do not weep, oh be happy
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Oh do not weep, oh be happy,
Even if I am far from you,
Whether near or far -- I think of you,
Love travels along with me.
[Love] send me the dreams of the night,
[Love] is my guide by day,
[Love] whispers: Remain true, oh heart,
Remain true in joy and sorrow!
[In]1 joy and sorrow I remain true,
I love you alone,
For I could not find a dearer love,
How could I be unfaithful!
