Morgens steh' ich auf und frage: Kommt feins Liebchen heut? Abends sink' ich hin und klage: Aus blieb sie auch heut. In der Nacht mit meinem Kummer lieg' ich schlaflos, [wach]1; träumend, wie im halben Schlummer, träumend wandle ich bei Tag.

Al matí em llevo i pregunto: vindrà avui la meva gentil estimada? Al vespre vaig al llit i em lamento: avui tampoc ha vingut. A la nit, amb la meva pena, resto despert, sens poder dormir; somiant, com en un mig adormiment, somiant, camino de dia sense objecte.
