Auf der Treppe sitzen meine Öhrchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
"Auf der Treppe sitzen meine Öhrchen,
Wie zwei Kätzchen, die die Milch erwarten...
Auf der Treppe sitzt mein Herz und harret,
Wie ein Geistchen, Kinn in Hand gestützet.
Doch der Bote mit den Briefen kommt nicht.
Taub und ohne Seele drin im Zimmer lieg ich.
Wünsche nichts zurück zu haben.
Nicht die rosa Kätzchen, nicht das Geistchen."

Mes petites oreilles sont assises dans l'escalier
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
« Mes petites oreilles sont assises dans l'escalier
Comme deux chatons qui attendent le lait ...
Mon cœur est assis dans l'escalier et attend,
Comme un petit fantôme, le menton calé dans les mains.
Mais le messager n'apporte pas de lettre.
Je suis allongé dans la pièce, sourd et sans âme.
Je n'espère plus rien en retour.
Ni le chaton rose, ni le petit fantôme. »
