Wo ich bin, fern und nah, Steht dein edles Haupt meinen Augen da... Nimmermehr bin ich mit mir! Über all, wo ich geh und steh, bist du allhier. Träum' ich nachts, bist du da; Wach ich, steht mir dein Antlitz nah; Schließ ich die Augen, seh ich dich, Immer dich, ewiglich!

Où que je sois, loin ou près, Ton noble visage se tient devant mes yeux... Jamais plus je ne suis avec moi ! En outre, où que j'aille et que je m'arrête, tu es partout. Si je rêve la nuit, tu es là ; Si je suis éveillé, ton image se tient près de moi ; Si ferme mes yeux, je te vois, Toujours toi, éternellement !
