Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen, Mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben, Sie hat so lange nichts von mir vernommen, Sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben. Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen, Ob sie mich für gestorben hält, Ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen, Denn wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt. Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgetümmel, Und ruh' in einem stillen Gebiet. Ich leb' allein in meinem Himmel, In meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied.

Straniero al mondo sono diventato, al mondo che tanto del mio tempo mi ha tolto, da tempo ormai nulla di me ha saputo, e forse crederà che sia ormai morto. E pure nulla me ne può importare, se mi considera come se fossi morto, e non ho proprio niente da obiettare perché davvero al mondo io sono morto. Io sono morto al mondano frastuono, E ormai in un luogo tranquillo resto a riposare! E nel mio cielo vivo tutto solo, e pure nei miei canti e nel mio amore.
