Alt-Solo Im Waldesgrün am stillen See, Da seufzt ein Jüngling im schweren Weh: Gepackt von der tötenden Seuche, stahl Er her sich, zu enden seine Qual. Er, dem im Leben, wo er stand, Sich jedes Herz einst zugewandt, Stirbt jetzt, als hätt' er keinen Freund, Hier ungesehn und unbeweint. Der Jüngling Ach, einen Tropfen nur aus dem See, Zu kühlen das fiebrisch brennende Weh, Ach, einen Tropfen nur aus der Flut, Zu kühlen die fiebrische Glut!

Alto solo Dans la forêt verte près d'un lac tranquille, Là un jeune homme gémissait dans un pesant malheur : Saisi par la maladie mortelle, Par l'acier Il est venu ici pour mettre fin à son tourment. Lui qui dans la vie où il se tenait Avait jadis tourné maint cœur, Mourait maintenant, comme s'il n'avait pas eu d'ami, Invisible ici et pleuré par personne. Le jeune homme Ah, une seule goutte du lac Pour rafraîchir la souffrance de cette fièvre brûlante, Ah, une seul goutte de ces flots, Pour rafraîchir cette fièvre brûlante !
