Original text and translations

English text

    Hark! hark!
    Pretty lark!
Little heedest thou my pain!
But if to these longing arms
Pitying Love would yield the charms
    Of the fair
    With smiling air,
Blithe would beat my heart again.

    Hark! hark!
    Pretty lark!
Little heedest thou my pain!
Love may force me still to bear,
While he lists, consuming care;
    But in anguish,
    Though I languish,
Faithful shall my heart remain.
