Den stummen Felsen nur Klag' ich, was mir das Herz Bewegt mit tiefem Schmerz, Das bange Sehnen, Die Quelle meiner Tränen. Ach! sie bleibt stumm und fern, Ach! sie hört nicht meine Leiden! Nur umsonst ström' ich meiner Wehmuth bitt're Klagen aus vollem Herzen aus!

Seuls les rochers muets Me plaignent de ce que mon cœur Agite avec une profonde douleur, L'ardent désir, La source de mes larmes. Ah ! elle reste silencieuse et distante, Ah ! elle n'entend pas ma souffrance ! Seulement en vain je répands La plainte amère de ma tristesse hors de mon cœur !
