Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE POR
Schwirrend Tamburin, dich schwing ich,
Doch mein Herz ist weit von hier.

Tamburin, ach könntst du's wissen,
Wie mein Herz von Schmerz zerrissen,
Deine Klänge würden müssen
Weinen um mein Leid mit mir.

Weil das Herz mir will zerspringen,
Laß ich hell die Schellen klingen,
Die Gedanken zu versingen
Aus des Herzens Grunde mir.

Schöne Herrin, tief im Herzen
Fühl ich immer neu die Schmerzen,
Wie ein Angstruf ist mein Scherzen,
Denn mein Herz ist weit von hier.

La joueuse de tambourin
 (Sung text translation for setting by H. Sommer)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Tambourin qui bruit, je te secoue,
Mais mon cœur est loin d'ici.

Tambourin, ah, si tu pouvais savoir
Combien mon cœur est déchiré par la douleur,
Tes sons devraient
Pleurer sur ma peine avec moi.

Parce que mon cœur va me briser,
Je laisse les cymbalettes sonner brillamment,
Pour chanter les pensées
Des profondeurs de mon cœur.

Beaux hommes, au fond de mon cœur
Je sens la douleur toujours renouvelée,
Mon badinage est comme un cri d'angoisse,
Car mon cœur est loin d'ici.
