Auf dem Feldplan dort Wallt das Ährenmeer, Und milde Lüfte Wehn es hin und her; Lebe wohl, mein Lieb, Denke fern auch mein! Des Lebens werd ich So nimmer mich freun. Mir wird Lust zur Qual, Bist du von mir fern, Wenn mir nicht hold lacht Deines Auges Stern. Ach, mein Glück ist fort, Fort aus diesen Aun; Ihr Lockengold, Soll ich nimmer schaun. Ach, das goldne Haar Decket voll und lang Den Schwanenhals ihr Wie Silber so blank. Des Lebens werd ich So nimmer mich freun, Leb, ach lebe wohl, Denk auch ferne mein.

Là sur la plaine La mer des épis s'agite, Et des brises légères Soufflent de-ci de-là ; Adieu, mon amour, Pense à moi de loin ! De ma vie je ne serai Jamais aussi heureux. La joie sera pour moi une douleur, Quand tu seras loin de moi, Quand ne me souriront plus Les étoiles de tes yeux. Ah ! Mon bonheur est parti, Parti de ces prairies ; Leurs boucles dorées, Je ne les reverrai jamais. Ah ! la chevelure longue et dorée Recouvre complètement Ton cou de cygne, Aussi blanc que l'argent. De ma vie je ne serai Jamais aussi heureux, Adieu, ah, adieu, Pense à moi de loin !
