Philint stand jüngst vor Babets Thür
Language: German (Deutsch)
Philint stand jüngst vor [Babets]1 Thür
Und klopft', und rief: Ist niemand hier?
Ich bin Philint! Laßt mich hinein! --
Sie kam, und sprach: Nein, nein!
Er [seufzt', er bat]2 recht jämmerlich.
Nein! sagte sie, ich fürchte dich;
Es ist schon Nacht, ich bin allein:
Philint, es kann nicht sein!
Bekümmert [wollt']3 er wieder gehn:
Da hört' er schnell den Schlüssel drehn:
Er hört: Auf einen Augenblick!
Doch geh' auch gleich zurück!
Die Nachbarn plagt die Neugier sehr:
Sie warteten der Wiederkehr;
Er kam auch, doch erst Morgens früh.
Ey, ey! wie lachten sie!

Une histoire très ordinaire
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Philinte se tenait récemment devant la porte de Babette
Et frappait et appelait : "il n’y a personne ?
C’est Philinte ! Laisse-moi entrer ! "
Elle vint et dit : "Non, non !"
Il soupira et redemanda d’une voix bien triste.
"Non", dit-elle, "j’ai peur de toi ;
C'est déjà la nuit, je suis seule :
Philinte, c’est impossible ! "
Attristé il veut passer son chemin,
Mais il entend vite tourner la clé ;
Il entend : " un instant seulement !
Puis tu partiras très vite ! "
La curiosité tourmenta beaucoup les voisins :
Ils attendaient son départ ;
Il partit d’ailleurs, mais de bon matin.
Eh, eh ! Comme ils riaient!
