Selig ihr Blinden, die ihr nicht zu schauen
Vermögt die Reize, die uns Glut entfachen;
Selig ihr Tauben, die ihr ohne Grauen
Die Klagen der Verliebten könnt verlachen;
Selig ihr Stummen, die ihr nicht den Frauen
Könnt eure Herzensnot verständlich machen;
Selig ihr Toten, die man hat begraben!
Ihr sollt vor Liebesqualen Ruhe haben.

Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Bénis soient les aveugles qui ne peuvent pas voir
Ces charmes qui enflamment notre ardeur ;
Bénis soient les sourds qui sans peur
Peuvent rire des plaintes des amants ;
Bénis soient les muets qui aux femmes
Ne peuvent pas exprimer la détresse de leur cœur ;
Bénis soient les morts qui sont enterrés !
Vous aurez le repos des tourments de l'amour.
