He, Zigeuner, greife in die Saiten ein!
Spiel das Lied vom ungetreuen Mägdelein!
Laß die Saiten weinen, klagen, traurig bange,
Bis die heiße Träne netzet diese Wange!

Hé, tzigane ! Fais résonner les cordes !
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Hé, tzigane ! Fais résonner les cordes !
Joue le chant de la jeune fille infidèle !
Que les cordes pleurent, gémissent, d'angoisse attristée,
Jusqu'à ce que les larmes brûlantes baignent ces joues !
