Zwischen Weizen und Korn, Zwischen Hecken und Dorn, Zwischen Bäumen und Gras, Wo gehts Liebchen? Sag mir das. Fand mein Holdchen Nicht daheim; Muß das Goldchen Draußen sein. Grünt und blühet Schön der Mai; Liebchen ziehet Froh und frei. An dem Felsen beim Fluß, Wo sie reichte den Kuß, Jenen ersten im Gras, Seh' ich etwas! Ist sie das? --

Par vallons et guérets, par les bois et les prés, loin de mes yeux jaloux, où va ma belle ? Le savez-vous ? A sa porte, mais en vain, j'ai frappé de grand matin. Tout s'éveille au doux printemps, et mignonne court les champs. Là où le flot vient se briser, où j'obtins un doux baiser, le premier, ô tendre émoi. N'est-ce pas toi ! Que je voi ?
