Sorge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Kehre nicht in diesem Kreise
Neu und immer neu zurück!
Laß, o laß mir meine Weise,
Gönn, o gönne mir mein Glück!
Soll ich fliehen? Soll ich's fassen?
Nun, gezweifelt ist genug.
Willst du mich nicht glücklich lassen,
Sorge, nun so mach mich klug!

Souci
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ne retourne pas dans ce cercle,
Nouveau et toujours renouvelé !
Laisse, oh, laisse-moi mes manières,
Accorde, oh, accorde-moi mon bonheur !
Devrais-je fuir ? Devrais-je le saisir ?
Maintenant, assez de doute.
Si tu choisis de ne pas me rendre heureux,
Ô souci, alors rends-moi sensé !
