Meine Seele ist aus dem Frieden vertrieben; ich muß des Guten vergessen.
Y mi alma se alejó de la paz, olvideme del bien.
Mi alma ha sido apartada de la paz; he olvidado el bienestar.
Tu m'as enlevé la paix; Je ne connais plus le bonheur.
E tu hai allontanata l’anima mia dalla pace, Ed io ho dimenticato il bene.
E afastaste da paz a minha alma; esqueci-me do bem.
你使我遠離平安, 我忘了何為福樂。
