Die Korbflechterin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Der Regen fällt, die Sonne scheint,
    Die Windfahn' dreht sich nach dem Wind, -
Du find'st uns Mädchen hier vereint,
    Und singest uns ein Lied geschwind.

Die Windfahn' dreht sich nach dem Wind,
    Die Sonne färbt die Wolken roth, -
Ich sing' euch wohl ein Lied geschwind,
    Ein Lied von übergroßer Noth.

Die Sonne färbt die Wolken roth,
    Ein Vogel singt und lockt die Braut -
Was hat's für übergroße Noth
    Bei Mädchen fein, bei Mädchen traut?

Ein Vogel singt und lockt die Braut,
    Dem Fische wird das Netz gestellt, -
Ein Mädchen fein, ein Mädchen traut,
    Ein rasches Mädchen mir gefällt.

Dem Fische wird das Netz gestellt,
    Es sengt die Fliege sich am Licht,
Ein rasches Mädchen dir gefällt,
    Und du gefällst dem Mädchen nicht.

La vannière
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
La pluie tombe, le soleil brille,
   La girouette tourne dans le vent,
Tu nous trouves ici réunis, jeune fille,
   Et vite, tu nous entonnes une chanson.

La girouette tourne dans le vent,
   Le soleil colore les nuages de rouge,
Je vous chanterais bien vite une chanson,
   Une chanson de très grande détresse.

Le soleil colore les nuages de rouge,
   Un oiseau chante et attire sa compagne,
Quelle est cette très grande détresse
   De la fille gracile, de la fille chérie ?

Un oiseau chante et attire sa compagne,
   Le filet est posé pour le poisson,
Une   fille gracile, une fille avenante,
   Une fille alerte me plait.

Le filet est posé pour le poisson,
   Les mouches se brûlent à la lumière,
Une fille alerte te plait,
   Et tu ne plais pas à la fille.
