Die Sonne scheint nicht mehr So schön, als wie vorher, Der Tag ist nicht so heiter, So liebreich gar nicht mehr. Das Feuer kann man löschen, Die Liebe nicht vergessen, Das Feuer brennt so sehr, Die Liebe noch viel mehr. Mein Herz ist nicht mehr mein, O könnt ich bei dir sein, So wäre mir geholfen Von aller meiner Pein.

De zon, zij schijnt niet meer Zo prachtig als weleer, De dag is niet zo helder, Zo lieflijk ook niet meer. Het vuur, dat kan men blussen, Maar wie vergeet de kussen? Het vuur, dat brandt zozeer, De liefde nog veel meer. Mijn hart is niet meer 't mijn', O, kon ik bij jou zijn, Dan was ik afgeholpen Van al mijn, al mijn pijn.
