O Sonne, liebe Sonne, Verdecke deinen Pfad, Wer kann den Glanz ermessen, Wer kann den Glanz vergessen, Wenn nun der Winter naht. O Sonne, liebe Sonne, Verdecke nun dein Licht! Die Lieb' mit ihrem Blicke, Die Lieb' mit ihrem Glücke, Ach, du erreichst sie nicht!

Ô soleil, cher soleil, Cache ton chemin, Qui peut mesurer l'éclat, Qui peut oublier l'éclat, Quand l'hiver approche. Ô soleil, cher soleil, Cache maintenant ta lumière ! L'amour avec son regard, L'amour avec son bonheur, Ah, tu ne peux l'atteindre !
