German text

Ach weh des Leiden,
muss es dann sein gescheiden?
Ach weh mir Armen,
wen sollt's doch nicht erbarmen?
Ach weh der Schmerzen,
so ich empfind im Herzen.
Herzen. muss ich dich dann aufgeben,
so kost's mein Leben.

English translation
by Mick Swithinbank

Alas, what sorrow I feel:
must we part?
Alas, poor me,
who would not sympathise with my plight?
Alas, what pain
I feel in my heart.
If I must give you up
it will cost me my life.
