Wenn die Nacht sich über die Welt senkt mit dem segnenden Schwingen, dann erwacht das Sehnen in mir. Nicht mehr kann ich's bezwingen. Dann erwacht' das Sehnen in mir nach entschwundene Tagen, wo ich der Liebe Leid und Lust in dem Herzen getragen. Wo ich ein leuchtendes Sternenpaar sah in mein Leben scheinen, teures Lieb! Wenn ich daran denke muß ich weinen, so bitterlich weinen.

Quand sur le monde la nuit Descend avec ses ailes bénies, Alors la nostalgie me réveille. Je ne peux plus la supporter. Alors me réveille la nostalgie Des jours disparus, Quand la souffrance et la joie Remplissaient mon cœur. Où je voyais une paire d'étoiles brillantes Resplendir dans ma vie, Très chère bien-aimée ! Quand j'y pense Je dois pleurer, pleurer si amèrement.
