Ein jeder hat zu diesem Feste Sein liebes Liebchen mitgebracht, Und freut sich der blühenden Sommernacht; Ich wandle allein, mir fehlt das Beste. Ich wandle allein gleich einem Kranken! Ich fliehe die Lust, ich fliehe den Tanz Und die schöne Musik und den Lampenglanz; - In England sind meine Gedanken. Ich breche Rosen, ich breche Nelken, Zerstreuten Sinnes und kummervoll; Ich weiß nicht, wem ich sie geben soll; Mein Herz und die Blumen verwelken.

À cette fête, chacun A amené sa chère bien-aimée Et se réjouit de la nuit d'été florissante ; Je me promène seul, il me manque l'essentiel. Je me promène seul, comme un malade ! Je fuis le plaisir, je fuis la danse, La belle musique et l'éclat des lumières : Mes pensées sont en Angleterre. Je cueille des roses, je cueille des œillets, La tête à l'envers et plein de chagrin ; Je ne sais à qui je dois les donner ; Mon cœur et les fleurs se fanent.
