Herz, in deinen sonnenhellen Tagen halt nicht karg zurück! Allwärts fröhliche Gesellen Trifft der Frohe und sein Glück. Sinkt der Stern: alleine wandern Magst du bis ans End der Welt - Bau du nur auf keinen andern Als auf Gott, der Treue hält.

Cuore, nei tuoi luminosi Giorni concediti senza parsimonia, Dappertutto allegri compagni trova chi è lieto e colmo di fortuna. Ma se declina la stella: vagherai solitario Per sempre fino alla fine del mondo -- E in nessun altro potrai fare assegnamento Che in Dio, il solo che ti resterà accanto.
