Ach, die Augen sind es wieder, 
Die mich einst so freundlich grüßten,
Und es sind die Lippen wieder,
Die mir's Leben einst versüßten.

Auch die Stimme ist es wieder,
Die ich einst so gern gehöret!
Nur ich selber bin's nicht wieder,
Bin verändert heimgekehret.

Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ah, voici à nouveau ces yeux
Qui un jour m'ont si aimablement salué,
Et voici à nouveau ces lèvres,
Qui m'ont rendu douce la vie.

Voici aussi à nouveau la voix,
Que naguère j'écoutais si volontiers!
C'est moi qui ne suis plus le même,
Je suis revenu changé à la maison.
