Die Sonne scheint nicht mehr So schön, als wie vorher, Der Tag ist nicht so heiter, So liebreich gar nicht mehr. Das Feuer kann man löschen, Die Liebe nicht vergessen, Das Feuer brennt so sehr, Die Liebe noch viel mehr. Mein Herz ist nicht mehr mein, O könnt ich bei dir sein, So wäre mir geholfen Von aller meiner Pein.

Le soleil ne brille plus Aussi bellement qu'avant, Le jour n'est plus aussi radieux, N'est plus aussi charmant. On peut éteindre le feu, On ne peut oublier l'amour, Le feu brûle si fort, L'amour encore bien plus. Mon cœur n'est plus à moi, Ô si je pouvais être près de toi, Je serais soulagé De tous mes tourments.
