Die Geniale
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Lustig auf den Kopf, mein Liebchen,
stell dich, in die Luft die Bein'!
Heisa! Ich will sein dein Bübchen,
heute nacht soll Hochzeit sein!
Wenn du Shakespeare kannst vertragen,
O du liebe Unschuld du!
Wirst du mich wohl auch ertragen
und noch jedermann dazu.
Confirmed with Joseph Freiherrn von Eichendorff, Gedichte, Berlin, Verlag von M. Simion, 1841, page 256.

La géniale
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Mets-toi gaiement sur la tête, ma chérie,
Avec les jambes en l'air !
Ô gué ! Je serai ton coquin,
Cette nuit ce seront nos noces !
Si tu peux supporter Shakespeare,
Ô toi, chère innocente !
Tu pourras aussi bien me supporter
Et tout le monde en plus.
