Wiese und Wald
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sieh, lichtgrün ist die Wiese
Und dunkel ist der Wald;
Und mir gefällt die Wiese
Und mir gefällt der Wald!
Die Blonde oder Braune,
Sprich, welche liebst du mehr?
Und sieh, ich lieb' die Blonde,
Und lieb' die Braune sehr!

Meadow and forest
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
See, pale green is the meadow
And dark the forest;
And the meadow pleases me
And the forest pleases me!
The blonde or the brunette,
Tell me, which one do you love more?
And see, I love the blonde,
And love the brunette very much!
