Wo hast du all die Schönheit hergenommen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wo hast du all die Schönheit hergenommen,
Du Liebesangesicht, du Wohlgestalt!
Um dich ist alle Welt zu kurz gekommen.
Weil du die Jugend hast, wird alles alt,
Weil du das Leben hast, muß alles sterben,
Weil du die Kraft hast, ist die Welt kein Hort,
Weil du vollkommen bist, ist sie ein Scherben,
Weil du der Himmel bist, gibt's keinen dort!

Où as‑tu puisé toute cette beauté
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Où as-tu puisé toute cette beauté,
Toi, visage de l'amour, toi si bien fait !
Tu portes préjudice au monde entier.
Puisque tu as la jeunesse, tout est vieux,
Puisque tu as la vie, tout doit mourir,
Puisque tu as la force, le monde n'a pas de refuge,
Puisque tu es parfait, il est un débris,
Puisque tu es le ciel, il n'y a personne là-bas.
