Wohl schön bewandt
War es vorehe
Mit meinem Leben,
Mit meiner Liebe;
Durch eine Wand,
Ja durch zehn Wände,
Erkannte mich
Des Freundes Sehe;
Doch jetzo, wehe,
Wenn ich dem Kalten
Auch noch so dicht
Vor'm Auge stehe,
Es merkt's sein Auge,
Sein Herze nicht.

Heel goed gesteld
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch)
Heel goed gesteld
Was het voorheen wel
Met mij in 't leven
En met mijn liefde;
Zelfs door een muur,
Ja, door tien muren,
Herkende mij
Mijn vriend, zijn blikken;
Maar nu, verdikke,
Als 'k bij die koele
Sta nog zo dicht,
Hem haast doe stikken,
Niet merkt zijn oog het,
Zijn hart zit dicht.
