Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Sonst plaudert' ich mit Euch -- die Zeit entfloh,
Jetzt bin ich nicht mehr werth, Euch nur zu [sehen]1.
Wenn wir uns damals trafen irgendwo,
Senkt' ich die Augen und mein Herz war froh.
Jetzt, da mir Eure Liebe ward entrissen,
Senk' ich die Augen, die der Tod wird schließen.
Jetzt, da mir ward entrissen all mein Heil,
Senk' ich die Augen -- Sterben ist mein Theil.

Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Autrefois je bavardais avec Vous -- le temps a passé,
maintenant je ne suis même plus digne de Vous voir.
Lorsqu'avant nous nous rencontrions quelque part,
Je baissais les yeux et mon cœur était en joie.
Maintenant que Votre amour m'a été arraché,
Je baisse les yeux que la mort fermera.
Maintenant que tout salut m'a été arraché,
Je baisse les yeux -- mourir est mon lot.
