Die Liebe hat gelogen,
Die Sorge lastet schwer,
Betrogen, ach, betrogen
Hat alles mich umher!
Es fließen heiße Tropfen
Die Wange stets herab,
Laß ab, mein Herz, zu klopfen,
Du armes Herz, laß ab!

Love has lied,
Worries burden me heavily;
I am deceived, alas! deceived
By everything around me!
Bright tears run
Down my cheeks;
Cease, my heart, your beating --
You poor heart, stop!
