Du sprichst, daß ich mich täuschte, Beschworst es hoch und hehr, Ich weiß ja doch, du liebtest, Allein du liebst nicht mehr! Dein schönes Auge brannte, Die Küsse brannten sehr, Du liebtest mich, bekenn es, Allein du liebst nicht mehr! Ich zähle nicht auf neue, Getreue Wiederkehr; Gesteh nur, daß du liebtest, Und liebe mich nicht mehr!

Jij zegt, dat ‘k mij vergiste, Je zweert dat ‘k fantaseer, Toch weet ik dat jij liefhad, Alleen zo is ’t niet meer! Jouw mooie ogen brandden, Je kussen brandden zeer. Je hield van mij, beken het, Alleen zo is ’t niet meer! Ik reken niet op wending, Op trouw en wederkeer; Geef toe slechts dat je liefhad, En houd van mij niet meer!
