Säng' ein Liedchen Gern vom Liebchen, Ihm zum Preis und aller Welt zur Lust; Doch kein Reim stimmt, Wie sein Herz klingt, Wenn es feurig klopft an meine Brust! Und kein Wort weiß, Wie mein Puls schleicht, Wenn die Seele fern von ihm sich kränkt; Und kein Takt geht, Wie mein Herz schlägt, Wenn es an den teuren Freund gedenkt.

Je chanterais bien la chansonnette De mon bien-aimé, À lui comme récompense, et au monde entier par plaisir ; Mais rien ne rime, Lorsque son cœur résonne Quand il frappe avec ardeur contre ma poitrine ! Et je ne connais pas un mot Lorsque mon pouls s'échappe, Quand mon âme est malade d'être loin de lui ; Et il n'a pas de mesure Lorsque mon cœur bat, Quand il pense à mon ami chéri.
