Der Geier Schmerz flog nun davon, Die Stätte, wo er saß, ist leer; Nur unten tief in meiner Brust Regt sich noch etwas, dumpf und schwer. Das ist die Sehnsucht, die mit Qual Um deine holde Nähe wirbt, Doch, eh' sie noch das Herz erreicht, Mutlos die Flügel senkt und stirbt.

Comme un vautour le mal s'est maintenant envolé, L'endroit où il se tenait est vide ; Seul tout au fond de mon cœur Un je-ne-sais-quoi sourd et lourd s'agite encore. C'est la nostalgie, qui accompagnée de peines Tourbillonne autour de ta chère présence, Mais avant qu'elle n'atteigne le cœur, L'oiseau découragé s'abat et meurt.
