Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Die Flamme hier, die wilde, zu verhehlen,
Die Schmerzen alle, welche mich zerquälen,
Vermag ich es, da alle Winde ringsum
Die Gründe meiner Traurigkeit erzählen?
Daß ich ein Stäubchen deines Weges stäube,
Wie magst du doch, o sprich, wie darfst du schmählen?
Verklage dich, verklage das Verhängnis,
Das waltet über alle Menschenseelen!
Da selbiges verordnete, das ew'ge,
Wie alle sollten ihre Wege wählen,
Da wurde deinem Lockenhaar der Auftrag,
Mir Ehre, Glauben und Vernunft zu stehlen.

Embers of love
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
To conceal this flame here, this wild flame,
And all the pains that torment me,
Have I the power, when all the winds that blow about me
Recount the causes of my sorrow?
That I would strew even one grain of dust on your path,
How could you - o tell me - how can you slander me?
Accuse yourself, accuse the destiny
That reigns over all human souls!
Since that same eternal destiny ordained
That all shall select their own paths,
The locks of your hair were instructed
To steal from me my honor, beliefs and reason.
