The blue‑bell

Language: English

Our translations: DUT

In love she fell, 
My shy Bluebell,
With a strolling Bumble Bee;
He whispered low, 
"I love you so!
Sweet, give your heart to me!
I love but you, 
And I'll be true,
O give me your heart,
your heart, I pray!"
She bent her head,
"I will!" she said,
When lo! he flew away.

Add this translation to the Basket

Verliefd werd ze, 
mijn schuw' hyacinth
op een rommelende hommel.
Hij fluisterde zacht 
"ik hou van jou!
Schat schenk me je hartje, 
je hart aan mij
Schat schenk je hart aan mij.
Ik hou alleen van jou, blijf je trouw,
O schenk me je hart, smeek ik!"
 Ze boog haar hoofd...  
en zei "Ik wil"
En kijk! Hij vloog ver weg.
