So hab' ich nun die Stadt verlassen, Wo ich gelebet lange Zeit; Ich ziehe rüstig meiner Straßen, Es gibt mir niemand das Geleit. Man hat mir nicht den Rock zerrissen, Es wär' auch schade für das Kleid! Noch in die Wange mich gebissen Vor übergroßem Herzeleid. Auch keinem hat's den Schlaf vertrieben, Daß ich am Morgen weitergeh'; Sie konnten's halten nach Belieben, Von einer aber tut mir's weh.

J'ai donc maintenant quitté la ville Où j'ai longtemps habité ; Je marche vivement sur ma route, Il n'y a personne pour m'accompagner. On n'a pas déchiré ma veste, Ç'aurait été bien dommage pour ce vêtement ! Ni mordu mes joues Dans une excessive peine de cœur . Personne non plus n'a perdu le sommeil À cause de mon départ matinal : Ils pouvaient faire selon leur bon plaisir, Mais de l'une d'entre eux, cela me peine.
