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!

Els dos ulls blaus del meu amor, m'han enviat a voltar per tot el món. Vaig haver de dir adéu a aquest lloc estimat! Oh, ulls blaus, perquè em vàreu sotjar? Ara tinc eterna pena i tristor. He sortit a caminar en la tranquil·la nit pel bell mig del fosc pradell, Ningú no m'ha dit adéu. Adéu! Els meus companys són només amor i sofriment! En el carrer hi ha un til·ler, i allà, per primera vegada, vaig reposar dormint! Sota el til·ler, les seves flors queien damunt meu, com neu, no sabia encara que la vida segueix, i tot, tot tornava a estar bé! Tot, tot, l'amor i el sofriment i el món i els somnis!
