Und kein lebendiges Auge wird mich mehr schauen; sehen deine Augen nach mir, so bin ich nicht mehr.
Los ojos de los que me ven, no me verán más: Tus ojos sobre mí, y dejaré de ser.
Los ojos que me ven ya no me verán; pondrás tus ojos en mí, pero ya no estaré.
L'oeil qui me regarde ne me regardera plus; Ton oeil me cherchera, et je ne serai plus.
L’occhio di chi mi vede non mi riguarderà più; Se tu rivolgi gli occhi verso me, io non sarò più.
Os olhos dos que agora me vêem não me verão mais; os teus olhos estarão sobre mim, porém não serei mais.
觀看我的人,他的眼必不看見我; 你的眼目投向我,我卻不在了。
