1. Die Jahre kommen und gehen  [sung text not yet checked]

Madame, ich liebe Sie!

träumend, wie im halben Schlummer,
träumend wandle ich bei Tag.

3. Bist du wirklich mir so feindlich  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bist du [wirklich]1 mir so feindlich,
Bist du wirklich ganz verwandelt?
Aller Welt will ich es klagen,
Daß du mich so schlecht behandelt.

O ihr undankbaren Lippen,
Sagt, wie könnt ihr Böses sagen
Von dem Manne, der so liebend
Euch geküßt, in schönen Tagen.
