Available translation(s): FRE
Auf meiner Herzliebsten Äugelein
Mach ich die schönsten Kanzonen.
Auf meiner Herzliebsten Mündchen klein
Mach ich die besten Terzinen.
Auf meiner Herzliebsten Wängelein
Mach ich die herrlichsten Stanzen.
Und wenn meine Liebste ein Herzchen hätt,
Ich machte darauf ein hübsches Sonett.

Sur les yeux de ma bien‑aimée
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Sur les yeux de ma bien-aimée
Je fais la plus belle des chansons.
Sur la petite bouche de ma bien-aimée
Je fais les meilleurs tercets.
Sur les petites joues de ma bien-aimée
Je fais les stances les plus magnifiques.
Et si ma bien-aimée avait un cœur,
Je ferai dessus un joli sonnet.
