Sind wir geschieden,
Und ich muß leben ohne dich,
Gib dich zufrieden,
Du bist mein einz'ges Licht.
Bleib' mir beständig,
Treu, unabwendig:
Mein letzter Tropfen Blut
Sei dir, mein Engel, gut.
Ich will indessen,
Mein Engel und mein Kind,
Dein nicht vergessen,
Du bleibest mir in dem Sinn.
Die Zeit wird's fügen,
Dass mein Vergnügen
Nach überstand'ner Pein
Wird desto größer sein.
Weht, weht, ihr Winde,
Und bringt mir einen Gruß
Von meinem schönsten Kinde,
Darum ich trauern muß.
Küßt ihr die Wangen,
Sagt mein Verlangen,
Bringt ihr die Botschaft mein:
Ich leb' und sterbe dein.

Si mai ens separem
i jo haig de viure sense tu,
estigues tranquil·la,
tu ets la meva única llum.
Si em restes assídua,
fidel, sense ambages:
que la meva darrera gota de sang
sigui per a tu, el meu bon àngel.
Però mentrestant,
àngel meu, criatura meva,
no et vull pas oblidar,
tu restes al meu pensament.
El temps disposarà
que el meu plaer,
després d’haver suportat la pena,
sigui encara molt més gran.
Bufeu, bufeu, vents,
i porteu-me una salutació
de la meva més formosa criatura,
que em faci plorar.
Beseu les seves galtes,
feu-li saber el meu anhel,
porteu-li el meu missatge:
jo visc i moro per tu.
