Komm bald

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Warum denn warten von Tag zu Tag?
Es blüht im Garten, was blühen mag.
Wer kommt und zählt es, was blüht so schön?
An Augen fehlt es, es anzuseh'n.

Die meinen wandern vom Strauch zum Baum;
mir scheint, auch andern wär's wie ein Traum.
Und von den Lieben, die mir getreu
und mir geblieben, wär'st du dabei!

Kom gauw

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Waarom dan wachten van dag tot dag,
De tuin toont bloesem als ‘k zelden zag.
Wie komt en telt het wat bloeit zo mooi?
’t Ontbreekt aan ogen voor dit toernooi.
 
De mijne zwerven van struik naar boom;
Ik denk, ook and’ren zou ’t zijn een droom.
Maar bij de schatten, aan mij nog trouw
En mij gebleven, mis ik zo jou!
