Seit du mir ferne bist, hab ich nur Leid, weiß ich, was Sehnsucht ist und freudenlose Zeit. Ich hab an dich gedacht ohn' Unterlaß und weine jede Nacht nach dir mein Kissen naß. Und schließt mein Auge zu des Schlafes Band [so]1 wähn ich, das tust du, mit deiner weichen Hand.

Depuis que tu es loin de moi Je n'ai que du chagrin, Je sais ce qu'est l'attente Et les heures sans joie. J'ai pensé à toi Sans interruption Et pleuré chaque nuit Mouillé pour toi mon oreiller. Et je ferme mes yeux Avec le ruban du sommeil Et j'imagine ce que tu fais Avec tes douces mains.
