Sorge

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

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 !
