Tristesse à moi
Language: French (Français) 
Choose for Diff
Vous avez trahi votre foi,
heureuse une autre a su vous plaire ;
adieu, quittons nous sans colère,
bonheur à vous, tristesse à moi !
Elle aura pour vous plus de charmes, 
mais plus d'amour, voyez mes larmes !
mais plus d'amour je le promets,
oh ! non jamais !

Quand vous deviez ne point changer,
c'est vous que je revois parjure ;
moi, je pardonne après l'injure,
peut-être est-ce encor me venger !
Elle aura etc.

Un jour, oh ! n'allez pas souffrir
du mal que j'éprouve moi même ;
ce mal, est affreux et je l'aime,
et je n'en voudrais pas guérir !
Elle aura etc.

Mir Trauer nur
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Choose for Diff
Du brachst der Treue heil'gen Schwur
und schufest mir unnennbar Leiden;
leb wohl, ohne Groll lass uns scheiden!
Dir blühet Glück, mir Trauer nur.
Wohl, an Schönheit muss ich ihr weichen,
doch nimmermehr wird sie dir reichen
ein Herz so liebevoll als dies,
dess sei gewiss!

Mit inn'gem Feuer liebt' ich dich
und weihte dir mein ganzes Leben;
jetzt will dein Unrecht ich vergeben,
so räch' ich mich, so räch' ich mich!
Wohl, an Schönheit usw.

Empfinde du nie diesen Schmerz,
der mir das Leben hält umsponnen;
ich hab' selbst den Schmerz liebgewonnen,
und Heilung suchet nicht mein Herz!
Wohl, an Schönheit usw.
