Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Ach, mir ist das Herz so schwer!
Traurig irr' ich hin und her,
Suche Ruhe, finde keine,
Geh ans Fenster hin, und weine!

Sässest du auf meinem Schooß,
Würd ich aller Sorgen los,
Und aus deinen blauen Augen 
Würd ich Lieb' und Wonne saugen!

Könnt' ich doch, du süsses Kind,
Fliegen hin zu dir geschwind!
Könnt ich ewig dich umfangen,
Und an deinen Lippen hangen!
