Traurig sind meine Lieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Traurig sind meine Lieder,
einst waren sie nur froh.
Schwer sind meine Lieder,
einst waren sie nicht so.

Ich weiß nicht was mir geschehn,
warum ich liebe, warum ich leide, 
ich weiß nur eines, was du nicht weiβt: 
Traurig sind meine Lieder, 
einst waren sie nicht so.

Sorgligt min sång nu klingar
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Sorgligt min sång nu klingar,
Glad var den förr ändå!
Svårmod den nu betvingar,
Fordom det var ej så!

Jag vet ej hvad som mig händt,
hvarför jag älskar, hvarför jag lider,
Vet blott det enda, som du ej vet:
Sorgligt min sång nu klingar,
Fordom det var ej så!
