Erwin
 Sie liebt mich!
 Sie liebt mich!
 Welch schreckliches Beben! 
 Fühl' ich mich selber?
 Bin ich am Leben? 
 Sie liebet mich!
 Sie liebt mich!

 Ach, rings so anders! 
 Bist du's noch, Sonne?
 Bist du's noch, Hütte? 
 Trage die Wonne,
 Seliges Herz! 
 Sie liebt mich!
 Sie liebt mich!

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

Erwin
  Elle m'aime !
  Elle m'aime !
  Quel terrible tremblement !
  Suis-je conscient de moi-même ?
  Elle m'aime !
  Elle m'aime !

  Ah, autour de moi tout est si différent !
  Est-ce encore toi, soleil ?
  Est-ce encore toi, petite hutte ?
  Porte la joie,
  Cœur béni !
  Elle m'aime !
  Elle m'aime !
