Im Finstern geh' ich suchen,
Mein Kind, wo steckst du wohl?
Ach, sie versteckt sich immer,
Daß ich verschmachten soll!
Im Finstern geh' ich suchen,
Mein Kind, wo steckst du wohl?
Ich, der den Ort nicht finde,
Ich irr' im Kreis umher!
Wer um dich stirbt,
Der hat keine Ruh'!
Kindchen erbarm dich,
Und komm herzu!
Ja, komm herzu,
Herzu, herzu!

Colin‑maillard
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Dans l'obscurité, je vais chercher
Mon enfant, où es-tu caché ?
Ah, elle se cache toujours,
Et je vais m'éteindre !
Dans l'obscurité, je vais chercher
Mon enfant, où es-tu caché ?
moi qui ne trouve jamais la cachette,
Je tourne en rond dans le cercle !
Celui qui meurs pour toi,
N'aura pas de paix !
Enfant, aie pitié,
Et viens ici !
Oui, viens ici,
Ici, ici !
