Fête
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  GER
Violons des amours inquiètes
J‘aime une belle au cœur volant,
jouez de mon cœur pour sa fête,
jouez violons de beau temps.

Couronne de baisers en tête
Elle dort du poids de mes nuits.
Jouez violons pour sa fête,
Sortez doucement des étuis.

Des violons ca n’est pas la saison.

Chantez à son lit où je guette,
En ses soupirs son vœu d’un jour.
Jouez de mon cœur pour sa fête
Et que l’éveil soit son retour.

Elle ouvre les yeux et se jette
À mon cœur comme à son miroir.
Jouez violons pour ma fête,
Elle m‘aime et veut le savoir.

Des violons c’est la pleine saison.

Fest
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Geigen banger Lieben
Ich liebe eine Schöne mit flatterndem Herz,
spielt aus meinem Herz für ihr Fest,
spielt, ihr Geigen schöner Zeiten.

Gekrönt mit Küssen auf das Haupt
Schläft sie zu Lasten meiner Nächte. 
Spielt, ihr Geigen für ihr Fest,
Steigt sacht aus euren Kästen.

Für Geigen ist jetzt keine Saison.

Singt an ihrem Bett, wo ich harre
ihren Seufzern und ihrem Wunsch nach dem einen Tag.
Spielt aus meinem Herzen für ihr Fest
Und dass ihr Erwachen ihre Wiederkehr sei.

Sie öffnet die Augen und wirft sich
an mein Herz wie an ihren Spiegel.
Spielt, Violinen, zu meinem Fest
Sie liebt mich und will es wissen.

Jetzt ist für Geigen Hochsaison.
