by Sándor Petőfi (1823 - 1849)
Translation by Karl Maria Kertbeny (1824 - 1882)

Nem sírok én és nem panaszkodom;
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Nem sírok én és nem panaszkodom;
Nem mondom én el másnak: mi bajom?
De nézzetek szinetlen arcaimra,
Ott föl van írva;
És nézzetek szemembe, mely kiégett,
S belőle kiolvashatjátok,
Hogy rajtam átok fekszik, átok,
Hogy fáj nekem, hogy nagyon fáj az élet!

Ich weine nicht und klage nicht
 (Sung text for setting by A. Wallnöfer)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Hungarian (Magyar) 
Ich weine nicht und klage nicht! 
Ich sage keinem Andern, was mir fehlt;
Doch schauet in mein blasses Angesicht, 
Das seinen Schmerz nicht hehlt,
Dort steht's geschrieben: 
Seht mir ins Aug', das ausgebrannt, 
Und leset in dem trüben, 
Welch Fluch wol ruht auf mir und meinem Streben,
Und wie mich schmerzt, wie arg mich schmerzt mein Leben!
