Die zwei blauen Augen von meinem Schatz, Die haben mich in die weite Welt geschickt. Da mußt' ich Abschied nehmen vom allerliebsten Platz! O Augen blau, warum habt ihr mich angeblickt? Nun hab' ich ewig Leid und Grämen. Ich bin ausgegangen in stiller Nacht Wohl über die dunkle Heide. Hat mir niemand Ade gesagt. Ade! Mein Gesell' war Lieb' und Leide! Auf der Straße steht ein Lindenbaum, Da hab' ich zum ersten Mal im Schlaf geruht! Unter dem Lindenbaum, Der hat seine Blüten über mich geschneit, Da wußt' ich nicht, wie das Leben tut, War alles, alles wieder gut! Alles! Alles, Lieb und Leid Und Welt und Traum!

Gli occhi azzurri del mio tesoro, sono loro che mi hanno mandato via per il mondo. Ecco, devo salutare i luoghi più cari! O occhi azzurri! Perché mi avete guardato? Ora avrò pena e dolore in eterno! Sono uscito nella notte, nella notte silenziosa per i prati oscuri. Nessuno mi ha detto addio, addio! Miei compagni l'amore e la pena! Sulla strada c'è un tiglio, qui ho riposato nel sonno per la prima volta! Sotto il tiglio che ha fatto nevicare su di me i suoi fiori, non sapevo più quanto male fa la vita, tutto, tutto era di nuovo buono! Tutto! Tutto! Amore e pena! E mondo e sogno!
