Wohl schön bewandt War es vorehe Mit meinem Leben, Mit meiner Liebe; Durch eine Wand, Ja durch zehn Wände, Erkannte mich Des Freundes Sehe; Doch jetzo, wehe, Wenn ich dem Kalten Auch noch so dicht Vor'm Auge stehe, Es merkt's sein Auge, Sein Herze nicht.

Heel goed gesteld Was het voorheen wel Met mij in 't leven En met mijn liefde; Zelfs door een muur, Ja, door tien muren, Herkende mij Mijn vriend, zijn blikken; Maar nu, verdikke, Als 'k bij die koele Sta nog zo dicht, Hem haast doe stikken, Niet merkt zijn oog het, Zijn hart zit dicht.
