by Louis Charles Alfred de Musset (1810 - 1857)
Translation by Martin Hahn

Quand on perd, par triste occurrence
Language: French (Français) 
Quand on perd, par triste occurrence,
      Son espérance
      Et sa gaieté,
Le remède au mélancolique,
      C’est la musique
      Et la beauté !

Plus oblige et peut davantage
      Un beau visage
      Qu’un homme armé,
Et rien n’est meilleur que d’entendre
      Air doux et tendre
      Jadis aimé !

Lied
 (Sung text for setting by J. Marx)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Dafern’s geschah, daß wir begraben
Die Hoffnung haben
Und unser Glück,
Da blieb ein Trost in Nacht und Grauen,
Das sind die Frauen
Und die Musik!

Denn größer sind der Schönheit Werke
Als sie die Stärke
Des Kriegers beut,
Und nichts hallt so beglückend wieder
Als holde Lieder
Aus sel’ger Zeit!
