by Sándor Petőfi (1823 - 1849)
Translation by Theodor Opitz (1820 - 1896)

Szemek, mindenható szemek!
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Szemek, mindenható szemek!
Ne nézzetek, ne nézzetek
Reám oly hidegen, oly hidegen;
Megöltök, ez halál nekem,
Halál nekem!

Vagy, oh mindenható szemek!
Csak öljetek meg, öljetek;
Aztán mosolygjatok, mosolygjatok,
S én újolag föltámadok,
Föltámadok!

Ihr Augen mit allmächt'gem Licht
 (Sung text for setting by L. Grünberger)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Hungarian (Magyar) 
Ihr Augen mit allmächt'gem Licht!
O blicket nicht, o blicket nicht 
So kalt auf mich, so kalt auf mich;
Ihr mordet mich, schon sterbe ich,
Schon sterbe ich!

Wie? oder, Augen, allmachtreich!
Ermordet, mordet mich nur gleich;
Und lächelt, lächelt dann mich an,
und wieder aufersteh' ich dann,
Ersteh' ich dann!
