by Theofiel Coopman (1852 - 1915)
Translation Singable translation by Carl Hebbel

Jeugd en liefde
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Jong te zijn! te beminnen!
Hoe zalig en zoet!
O het leven beginnen 
met rozengeur en zonnegloed
in 't frisch ontkiemd gemoed!
Jong te zijn! te beminnen!
Hoe zalig en zoet!

Weten dat op uw schreden
Een engel op u wacht
Bloemen strooiend, gebeden.
Gevoelen, hooren dag en nacht
Heur englen reine zieleklacht

Jong te zijn! te beminnen!
Hoe zalig en zoet!
En met open ziel en zinnen 
De wereld zenden groet op groet!
Vol hoop, geloof, vol licht en gloed!
Jong te zijn! te beminnen!
Hoe zalig en zoet!

Jugendliebe
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Dutch (Nederlands) 
Jugendzeit! Jugendliebe!
Wie selig, wie süss!
Ja! die feurigsten Triebe
voll Sonnenschein und Rosenblüth
Im offnen Herzen und Gemüth!
Jugendzeit! Jugendliebe!
Wie selig, wie süss!

Bist du auf deinen Wegen
Von Engeln umwacht,
Streuend Blumen und Segen
Vernehmen, fühlen nacht und Tag
Die Engel reine Liebesklag

Jugendzeit! Jugendliebe!
Wie selig, wie süss!
Dann mit offnem Herz und Sinnen
Der Welt zu senden Gruss auf Gruss!
Voll Licht und Gluth, voll reiner Minne!
Jugendzeit! Jugendliebe!
Wie selig, wie süss!
