Ich stehe am Zaune
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich steh' am Zaune, schau' in die Gassen; die Leute flüstern, ich kann's nicht lassen. Von Tränen brennen die Augenlider, er zog von dannen, er kehrt nie wieder!

I stand and linger where first I met him
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I stand and linger where first I met him. The people whisper, I can't forget him. With tears o'erflowing mine eyelids burn, he could forsake me, he'll ne'er return!
From the Fielitz score.
