Was macht dir, Herzliebster! Die Wange so blaß? Was macht dir das Auge Von Tränen so naß? "O Liebchen! Herzliebchen! Wohl ist es mir weh; Weit muß ich von hinnen Weit über die See!" [Und mußt du von hinnen]1 Dort über [die]2 See Gibt's wohl noch ein Liebchen. Herzliebster! ade! "Es scheinen viel Sterne Am Himmelsgezelt, Doch keiner von allen Wie Luna gefällt." So nimm nur dies Ringlein Von Golde so schwer, Und wird es zu eng dir, [So wirf's in das Meer.]3 "So steck' nur dies Blümlein An's klopfende Herz; Und duftet's dir nimmer, Verging auch dein Schmerz."

Qu'est-ce, mon chéri, Qui te fait les joues si blêmes ? Qu'est-ce qui te fait les yeux Si pleins de larmes ? «Oh chérie, bien-aimée! J'ai bien de la peine ; Je dois partir d'ici Aller loin sur la mer !» Alors, si tu dois partir d'ici, Aller là-bas sur la mer, Il y aura bien une autre chérie. Mon chéri, Adieu ! «Beaucoup d'étoiles brillent Sur la voûte céleste, Mais aucune parmi elles Ne me plaît autant que la lune.» Alors prends ce petit anneau En or, si lourd, Et s'il devient trop lourd pour toi, Alors jette-le à l'eau. «Alors pique cette petite fleur Sur ton cœur battant, Et quand pour toi elle n'embaumera plus, Alors ta peine aura aussi disparu.
