Traurig seufzt mein lieber Schatz
 (Sung text for setting by Ore)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latvian (Latviešu valoda) 
Traurig seufzt mein lieber Schatz,
hat aufs Händchen sich gelehnt;
ahnst du, banges, liebes Herz,
dass nicht lang' ich leben werd'?

Leb' ich lange, nicht zu lang',
Sonnenjahre leb' ich nicht.
Wässerlein und Felsenstein,
die nur lebten Sonnenjahr.
