Scheide, ach scheide Doch nur von Liebe nicht, Blüht Liebe gleich zu Leide, Ist sie doch Lebens-Licht! Scheide, ach scheide, Doch nur von Hoffnung nicht, Sie ist ein Stern im Leide, Ein Gottvergißmeinnicht! Scheide, ach scheide Doch nur vom Glauben nicht! Der sagt dir: Liebe, leide, Und hoff' in meinem Licht! Scheide, ach scheide Doch nur vom Leide nicht! Wer nicht kennt Lieb' im Leide, Der kennt nicht Lieb' im Licht!

Ne quitte pas, ah, ne quitte pas L'amour, Même si l'amour se change aussitôt en souffrance, C'est la lumière de la vie ! Ne quitte pas, ah, ne quitte pas L'espoir, C'est une étoile dans la souffrance, Un myosotis de Dieu ! Ne quitte pas, ah, ne quitte pas La foi ! Elle te dit : aime, souffre, Et espère en ma lumière ! Ne quitte pas, ah, ne quitte pas La souffrance ! Celui qui ne connaît pas l'amour dans la souffrance, Ne connaît pas l'amour dans la lumière !
