Ich weiß es wohl, kein klagend Wort
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ich weiß es wohl, kein klagend Wort
Wird über deine Lippen gehen;
Doch, was so sanft dein Mund verschweigt,
Muß deine blasse Hand gestehen.

Die Hand, an der mein Auge hängt,
Zeigt jenen feinen Zug der Schmerzen,
Und daß in schlummerloser Nacht
Sie lag auf einem kranken Herzen.

Main de femme
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Je sais bien qu'aucune plainte
Ne passera ta bouche ;
Mais ce que ta bouche tait si délicatement,
Ta main pâle doit bien l'avouer.

Ta main à laquelle mon regard s'accroche
Montre ce signe ténu de la douleur,
Et que durant cette nuit sans sommeil
Elle est posée sur un cœur malade.
