Ach Gott, wem soll ich klagen
Das heimlich' Leiden mein?
Mein Buhl'  ist mir verjaget,
Bringt meinem Herzen Pein.
Soll ich mich von ihm scheiden,
Thut meinem Herzen weh.
So schwing' ich mich über die Haiden, 
Du siehst mich nimmermehr.

Chased away

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Techritz)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Ah God, to whom should I lament
My secret suffering?
My lover had been chased away;
That brings my heart pain.
That I am to part from my love
Makes my heart sore.
So I shall betake myself off over the heath,
You shall never see me again.
