Bei einer Trauung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE FRE ITA SPA
Vor lauter hochadligen Zeugen
copuliert man ihrer Zwei;
die Orgel hängt voll Geigen,
der Himmel nicht, mein' Treu!
Seht doch, sie weint ja greulich,
er macht ein Gesicht abscheulich!
Denn leider freilich, freilich
keine Lieb' ist nicht dabei.

At a wedding
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
In front of honorable, noble witnesses
the two of them are being wed;
the organ music is full of pleasant anticipation,
but nothing else is, my dear!
Look how she cries so terribly,
and he makes such an awful face!
For, it is very sad to say, of course
there is no love here.
