Wie die Nelken duftig atmen!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Wie die Nelken duftig atmen!
Wie die Sterne, ein Gewimmel
Goldner Bienen, ängstlich schimmern
An dem veilchenblauen Himmel!

Aus dem Dunkel der Kastanien
Glänzt das Landhaus, weiß und lüstern,
Und ich hör die Glastür klirren
Und die liebe Stimme flüstern.

Holdes Zittern, süßes Beben,
Furchtsam zärtliches Umschlingen -
Und die jungen Rosen lauschen,
Und die Nachtigallen singen.

Comme la respiration des œillets est...
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Comme la respiration des œillets est parfumée !
Comme des étoiles, une multitude
D'abeilles d'or apeurées brillent
Devant le ciel d'un bleu de violette !

Dans l'obscurité des marronniers
Le blanc cottage convoité brille,
Et j'entends grincer la porte vitrée
Et chuchoter la chère voix.

Charmant frisson, doux tremblement,
Étreinte tendre et craintive --
Et les roses nouvelles épient
Et les rossignols chantent.
