Ich bin meine Straße gegangen Mein Leben lang allein -- Im Herzen ein Sehnen und Bangen Nach etwas Sonnenschein. Einst strahlten wie himmlische Sonnen Zwei Augen durch meine Nacht: Es war ein Traum, der zerronnen -- O, wär ich nimmer erwacht. Die Jahre kommen und schwinden; Es soll nicht anders sein: Ich werde wohl nimmer finden Die Liebe, den Sonnenschein.

I wandered my path alone Throughout my life -- In my heart was a yearning and an anxiety For a little sunshine. Once, like heavenly stars, two eyes Beamed through my night: It was a dream that faded away -- Oh had I never wakened! The years come and vanish; It shall not be otherwise: I shall likely never find Love, sunshine.
