Es geht wohl anders, als du meinst: Derweil du [rot]1 und fröhlich scheinst, Ist Lenz und Sonnenschein verflogen, Die liebe Gegend schwarz umzogen; Und kaum hast du dich ausgeweint, Lacht alles wieder, die Sonne scheint -- Es geht wohl anders, als [man meint]2.

Tutto è diverso da quello che pensi: mentre tu appari felice e rubicondo, svaniscono la primavera e la luce del sole, e la bella contrada è invasa dal buio; e mentre hai appena finito di piangere, tutto torna a sorridere, il sole brilla -- Tutto è diverso da quello che si pensa
