Nicht länger kann ich singen, denn der Wind
Weht stark und macht dem Athem was zu schaffen.
Auch fürcht' ich, daß die Zeit umsonst verrinnt.
Ja wär' ich sicher, ging' ich jetzt nicht schlafen.
Ja wüßt' ich was, würd' ich nicht heimspazieren
Und einsam diese schöne Zeit verlieren.

Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Je ne peux chanter plus longtemps, parce que le vent
Souffle fort et fait que le souffle est difficile à produire.
Aussi je crains que le temps s'écoule en vain,
Si j'étais certain, je n'irais pas au lit maintenant.
Si je savais quelque chose, je ne marcherais pas vers la maison
Et ne perdrais pas ce temps agréable tout seul.
