Ernst ist der Frühling, seine Träume sind traurig, jede Blume schaut von Schmerz bewegt, es bebt geheime Wehmut im Nachtigallenlaut. O, lächle nicht, geliebte Schöne, so freundlich heiter, lächle nicht! O, weine lieber! Eine Träne küss' ich so gern dir vom Gesicht.

Seriosa és la primavera, els seus somnis són tristos, totes les flors semblen estar afligides de dolor, una secreta melangia tremola en el cant del rossinyol. Oh, no somriguis, bella estimada, tan amical i serena, no somriguis! Oh, plora més aviat! De bon grat besaria una llàgrima del teu rostre.
