Die Kälte kann wahrlich brennen Wie Feuer. Die Menschenkinder Im Schneegestöber rennen Und laufen immer geschwinder. O, bittre Winterhärte! Die Nasen sind erfroren, Und die Klavierkonzerte Zerreißen uns die Ohren. Weit besser ist es im Summer, Da kann ich im Walde spazieren, Allein mit meinem Kummer, Und Liebeslieder skandieren.

Le froid peut en vérité brûler Comme le feu. Les enfants des hommes Se précipitent dans la tourmente de neige Et courent toujours plus vite Oh, dureté piquante de l'hiver ! Les nez sont gelés, Et le concerts de piano Nous écorchent les oreilles. C'est bien mieux en été, Là je peux me promener dans la forêt, Seul avec mon chagrin, Et chanter des chants d'amour.
