Ich müh' mich ab und kann's nicht verschmerzen Und kann's nicht verwinden in meinem Herzen, Daß ich den und jenen soll sehen, Im Kreis um mich herum sich drehen, Der mich nicht machte froh noch trübe, Ob er nun ging' oder bliebe, Und nur die Eine soll von mir wandern, Für die ich ertragen all die andern.

Ik mat mij af en kan ‘t niet verkroppen, En kan in mijn hart het chagrijn niet stoppen, Dat ik lieden moet accepteren, Die om mij heen alsmaar flaneren, En van wie het me worst zal wezen: Blijven ze hier, gaan ze sjezen? Maar slechts die ene wil van mij weggaan, Voor wie ‘k1 al die and’ren net kan uitstaan.
1 Wie ‘k: te zingen als één lettergreep
