Wehe, Lüftchen, lind und lieblich Um die Wange der Geliebten, Spiele zart in ihrer Locke, Eile nicht hinwegzufliehn! Tut sie dann vielleicht die Frage, Wie es um mich Armen stehe; Sprich: »Unendlich war sein Wehe, Höchst bedenklich seine Lage; Aber jetzo kann er hoffen, Wieder herrlich aufzuleben, Denn du, Holde, denkst an ihn.«

Bufa oreig, suau i amorós, a les galtes de la meva estimada, juga tendrament amb els seus rínxols, no t’apressis per marxar! Si ella mai et pregunta com estic, jo pobre de mi, digues-li: “Immens era el seu dolor, crítica la seva condició; però ara pot tenir l’esperança de reviure perfectament car tu, encisadora, penses en ell.”
