Schwermut
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Mir ist so weh ums Herz,
Mir ist, als ob ich weinen möchte
Vor Schmerz!
Gedankensatt
Und lebensmatt
Möcht' ich das Haupt hinlegen
in die Nacht der Nächte!

Zwaarmoedigheid
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch)
’t Is mij zo droef om ’t hart,
Het is, als zou ik willen huilen
Van smart!
Het denken zat
En levensmat
Zou ‘k graag mijn hoofd neerleggen
In de nacht der nachten!
