 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Sonst plaudert' ich mit Euch -- die Zeit entfloh, 
Jetzt bin ich nicht mehr werth, Euch nur zu sehn.
Wenn wir uns damals trafen irgendwo,
Senkt' ich die Augen und mein Herz war froh. 
  Jetzt, da mir Eure Liebe ward entrissen, 
Senk' ich die Augen, die der Tod wird schließen.
  Jetzt, da mir ward entrissen all mein Heil,
Senk' ich die Augen -- Sterben ist mein Theil.
