Nimmer glaub ich, junge Schöne
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Nimmer glaub ich, junge Schöne,
Was die spröde Lippe spricht;
Solche große schwarze Augen,
Solche hat die Tugend nicht.
Diese braungestreifte Lüge,
Streif sie ab; ich liebe dich.
Laß dein weißes Herz mich küssen -
Weißes Herz, verstehst du mich?

Jeune belle, jamais je ne crois
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Jeune belle, jamais je ne crois
Ce que dit une bouche prude ;
De tels grands yeux noirs,
De tels yeux ne sont pas vertueux.
Ce mensonge rayé de brun,
Retire-le ; je t'aime.
Laisse ton cœur blanc m'embrasser --
Cœur blanc, me comprends-tu ?
