In der mondlos stillen Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch)
In der mondlos stillen Nacht
Stand er unter dem Altane,
Sang mit himmlisch süßer Stimme
Minnelieder zur Gitarre.
Dann auch mit den Nebenbuhlern
Hat er tapfer sich geschlagen,
Daß die hellen Funken stoben,
Daß die Mauern widerhallten.
Und so übt' er jeden Dienst,
Den man weihet edeln Damen,
Daß mein Herz in Lieb' erglühte
Für den teuern Unbekannten.
Als ich drauf am frühen Morgen
Bebend blickte vom Altane:
Blieb mir nichts von ihm zu schauen,
Als sein Blut, für mich gelassen.

Le chevalier de la nuit
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Dans la nuit sans lune et silencieuse
Il était sous le balcon,
Chantait d'une voix céleste et douce
Des romances accompagnées à la guitare.
Ensuite, avec les amants d'à-côté,
Il s'est si vaillamment battu
Que de vives étincelles fusaient,
Que les murs résonnaient.
Et il s'est tant employé à ce service
Voué aux nobles dames
Que mon cœur brûlait d'amour
Pour le cher inconnu,
Lorsqu'au petit matin
En tremblant je regardai du balcon,
Il ne restait rien à voir de lui,
Que son sang laissé pour moi.
