Ja, du weißt es, theure Seele,
Daß ich fern von dir mich quäle,
Liebe macht die Herzen krank,
      Habe Dank.

Einst hielt ich, der Freiheit Zecher,
Hoch den Amethisten-Becher
Und du segnetest den Trank,
      Habe Dank.

Und beschworst darin die Bösen,
Bis ich, was ich nie gewesen,
Heilig, heilig an's Herz dir sank,
      Habe Dank.

Dédicace

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Oui, tu le sais, chère âme,
C'est un supplice d'être loin de toi,
L'amour rend le cœur malade,
Sois remerciée.

Jadis buveur de liberté je levais
Haut la coupe d'améthyste,
Et tu bénissais la boisson,
Sois remerciée.

Tu en as exorcisé le mal,
Et bienheureux, je me suis noyé en ton cœur,
Comme jamais je ne l'avais fait,
Sois remerciée.
