Du mit der Stirne voller Licht, Du mit den wunderbaren Braunaugen und den seidnen Haaren, Ich kenne dich! Du aber kennst mich nicht. Du mit dem klaren Angesicht, Du Zarte mit deinen leisen, Fremdländischen, süßen Liederweisen, Ich liebe dich! Du aber kennst mich nicht.

Toi qui as le front empli de lumière, Toi qui as de merveilleux Yeux bruns et des cheveux de soie, Je te connais ! mais tu ne me connais pas. Toi qui as le visage clair, Toi qui es si délicate, avec tes légères, Douces, exotiques mélodies, Je t'aime ! mais tu ne connais pas.
