View original-language texts alone: Vier Zigeunerlieder
Himmel strahlt so helle und klar, Heller strahlt mir dein Augenpaar. Du meine Rose, mir ins Auge blick, Daß ich dich segne in meinem Glück. Vögleins Lied so lieblich erklingt, Süß'res Lied mir mein Liebchen singt. Du meine Rose, mir ins Auge blick, Daß ich dich segne in meinem Glück. Sonne küßt das ganze Erdenrund, Heißer küßt mich dein Rosenmund. Du meine Rose, mir ins Auge blick, Daß ich dich segne in meinem Glück.
Le ciel rayonne si vif et si clair, Plus vifs brillent pour moi tes yeux. Toi ma rose, regarde-moi dans les yeux, Que je te bénisse dans mon bonheur. Le chant du petit oiseau retentit, si charmant, Un chant plus doux me chante Ma bien-aimée. Toi ma rose, regarde-moi dans les yeux, Que je te bénisse dans mon bonheur. Le soleil embrasse la terre entière, Plus ardent est pour moi le baiser de ta bouche de rose. Toi ma rose, regarde-moi dans les yeux, Que je te bénisse dans mon bonheur.

Rote Rosenknospen künden schon des Lenzes Triebe. Rosenrote Wangen Deuten Mädchens erste Liebe. Kleiner roter Vogel, Flieg herab zur roten Rose! Bursche geht zum ros'gen Mädchen kosen.
Les boutons de roses rouges Annoncent déjà l'arrivée du printemps. Les joues rouges comme des roses Montrent le premier amour de la jeune fille. Petit oiseau rouge, Envole-toi vers la rose rouge ! Le garçon va caresser la jeune fille qui rougit.

Brennessel steht am Wegesrand, Neider und Feinde hab' ich in Stadt und Land. Neidet, haßt, verleumdet, doch das bringt mir keine Not, Wenn mir nur mein süßes Liebchen treu bleibt bis zum Tod.
Les orties se dressent au bord du chemin, J'ai des jaloux et des ennemis à la ville et à la campagne. Enviez-moi, haïssez-moi, calomniez-moi, mais cela ne m'apporte aucune peine, Tant que ma douce bien-aimée reste fidèle jusqu'à la mort.

Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe, Trage fort mein kleines Briefchen! Flieg zur Höhe, fliege schnell aus, Flieg hinein in Liebchens Haus! Fragt man dich, woher du kommest, Wessen Bote du geworden, Sag, du kommst vom treusten Herzen, Das vergeht in Trennnungsschmerzen.
Chère hirondelle, petite hirondelle, Emporte au loin ma petite lettre ! Envole-toi là-haut, envole-toi vite, Envole-toi vers la maison de ma bien-aimée ! Si on te demande d'où tu viens, De quel messager tu es, Dis : tu viens du plus fidèle des cœurs, Qui périt du chagrin de la séparation.
