Die Höh'n und Wälder schon steigen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Höh'n und Wälder [schon]1 steigen Immer tiefer in's Abendgold; Ein Vöglein [frägt]2 in den Zweigen Ob es Liebchen grüssen sollt'? O Vöglein, du hast dich betrogen, Sie wohnet nicht mehr im Tal, Schwing' [auf dich]3 zum Himmelsbogen, Grüss' sie droben zum letztenmal.

Bonne nuit
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
[Déjà]1 les hauteurs et les forêts s'enfoncent Toujours plus profond dans les ors du soir ; Dans les branches un oiseau demande S'il doit saluer ma bien-aimée. Ô oiseau, tu t'es trompé, Elle n'habite plus la vallée Prend ton envol vers la voûte céleste, Et là-haut salue la pour la dernière fois.
