Die zwei blauen Augen von meinem Schatz, Die haben mich in die weite Welt geschickt. Da mußt' ich Abschied nehmen vom allerliebsten Platz! O Augen blau, warum habt ihr mich angeblickt? Nun hab' ich ewig Leid und Grämen. Ich bin ausgegangen in stiller Nacht Wohl über die dunkle Heide. Hat mir niemand Ade gesagt. Ade! Mein Gesell' war Lieb' und Leide! Auf der Straße steht ein Lindenbaum, Da hab' ich zum ersten Mal im Schlaf geruht! Unter dem Lindenbaum, Der hat seine Blüten über mich geschneit, Da wußt' ich nicht, wie das Leben tut, War alles, alles wieder gut! Alles! Alles, Lieb und Leid Und Welt und Traum!

Les deux yeux bleus de ma bien-aimée m'ont envoyé dans le vaste monde. Alors je dois dire adieu à cet endroit très cher. Oh, yeux bleus ! Pourquoi m'avez-vous regardé ? Maintenant j'ai un chagrin et une douleur éternels ! Je suis parti dans la nuit tranquille, à travers la lande sombre. Personne ne m'a dit adieu. Adieu ! Mes compagnons étaient l'amour et le chagrin. Sur la route se tenait un tilleul, et là pour la première fois j'ai dormi. Sous le tilleul, qui faisait tomber sur moi ses fleurs comme de la neige, je ne savais pas ce que la vie fait, et tout, tout, s'est arrangé ! Tout, tout ! Amour et chagrin, et le monde et le rêve !
