Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA
  Herz, mein Herz, sei nicht beklommen,
Und ertrage dein Geschick.
Neuer Frühling giebt zurück,
Was der Winter dir genommen.

  Und wie viel ist dir geblieben!
Und wie schön ist noch die Welt!
Und mein Herz, was dir gefällt,
Alles, alles darfst du lieben!

Сердце, сердце! что ты плачешь?
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Сердце, сердце! что ты плачешь?
Иль судьба тебе страшна?
Полно! что зима отымет —
Всё отдаст тебе весна!

А ведь что ещё осталось!
Божий мир не обойдёшь!
Выбирай себе любое,
Что полюбишь — всё возьмёшь!
