Die Liebe hat gelogen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Die Liebe hat gelogen,
Die Sorge lastet schwer,
Betrogen, ach, betrogen
Hat alles mich umher!
Es rinnen heiße Tropfen
Die Wange stets herab,
Laß ab, laß ab zu klopfen,
Laß ab, mein Herz, laß ab!

Love has lied
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Love has lied,
Worries burden me heavily;
I am deceived, alas! deceived
By everything around me!
Bright tears run
Down my cheeks;
Cease, cease your beating,
Cease, my heart, cease!
