Aus der Erde quellen Blumen, Aus der Sonne quillt das Licht, Aus dem Herzen quillt die Liebe, Und der Schmerz, der es zerbricht. Und die Blumen müssen welken, Und dem Lichte folgt die Nacht, Und der Liebe folgt das Sehnen, Das das Herz so düster macht.

De la terre les fleurs jaillissent, Du soleil la lumière naît, Du cœur l'amour naît, Et le chagrin, qui le brise. Et les fleurs doivent se faner, Et la lumière est suivie par la nuit, Et l'amour est suivi par la nostalgie, Qui rend le cœur si sombre.
