Daß der Ostwind Düfte Hauchet in die Lüfte, Dadurch thut er kund, Daß du hier gewesen. [Weil]1 hier Thränen rinnen, Dadurch wirst du innen, Wär's dir sonst nicht kund, Daß ich hier gewesen. Schönheit oder Liebe, Ob versteckt sie bliebe? Düfte thun es und Thränen kund, Daß sie hier gewesen.

La flaire del vent de llevant que alena a l’aire m’anuncia d’aquesta manera que tu has estat aquí. Les llàgrimes aquí vessades, t’anunciaran si és que encara no ho sabies que jo he estat aquí. Bellesa o amor, encara que restin ocults, anuncien amb les flaires i les llàgrimes que ella ha estat aquí.
