Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Und bist du erst mein ehlich Weib
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Und bist du erst mein ehlich Weib,
Dann bist du zu beneiden,
Dann lebst du in lauter Zeitvertreib,
In lauter Pläsier und Freuden.
Und wenn du schiltst und wenn du tobst,
Ich werd es geduldig leiden;
Doch wenn du meine Verse nicht lobst,
Laß ich mich von dir scheiden.

Et si tu deviens mon épouse légitime
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Et si tu deviens mon épouse légitime,
Alors tu seras à envier,
Alors ta vie sera un vrai passe-temps
Semé de purs plaisirs et de joies
Et si tu pestes, et si tu tempêtes,
Je le supporterai avec patience;
Mais si tu ne célèbres pas mes vers
Je me séparerai de toi.
