Dem Himmel will ich klagen, Mein Liebblaublümelein! Mein Leiden und mein Zagen, Mein Liebblaublümelein! Das mir das Herz abbricht, Es muß geschieden sein! Das mich zu Grabe bringt! Es muß geschieden sein! Den Lieben muß ich meiden, Mein Liebblaublümelein! Und den ich nicht kann leiden, Mein Liebblaublümelein! Muß ich zu Lieb umfahn, Es muß geschieden sein! O Gott, was hab' ich getan! Es muß geschieden sein! Wie ich es auch will machen, Mein Liebblaublümelein! Doch alle mich verachten, Mein Liebblaublümelein! Wie lieb ich's allen bot, Es muß geschieden sein! Sie drohen mir den Tod, Es muß geschieden sein! Gilts denn um Liebe sterben, Mein Liebblaublümelein! So will ich gern verderben, Mein Liebblaublümelein! Mein Herz, zu guter Nacht, Es muß geschieden sein! An dein Herzlieb gedacht. Es muß geschieden sein!

Je veux me plaindre au ciel, Ma chère petite fleur bleue ! De mes peines, de mes inquiétudes, Ma chère petite fleur bleue ! Que cela me brise le cœur, Cela devait arriver ! Que cela me mène au tombeau ! Cela devait arriver ! Je dois fuir celui que j'aime, Ma chère petite fleur bleue ! Et cela je ne puis le souffrir, Ma chère petite fleur bleue ! Je dois éviter l'amour, Cela devait arriver ! Ô Dieu, qu'ai-je fait ! Cela devait arriver ! Quoi que je fasse Ma chère petite fleur bleue ! Tous me méprisent, Ma chère petite fleur bleue ! Quand je les implore gentiment, Cela devait arriver ! Ils me menacent de mort, Cela devait arriver ! S'il faut mourir d'amour, Ma chère petite fleur bleue ! Je périrai volontiers, Ma chère petite fleur bleue ! Bonne nuit, mon cœur, Cela devait arriver ! En souvenir de l'amour de ton cœur. Cela devait arriver !
