De‑aş fi, iubito, gingaşa floare
Language: Romanian (Română)
De-aş fi, iubito, gingaşa floare Ce creşte-n vale, lângă pârău, Aş da şi roua şi mândrul soare Pe-o rază dulce din ochiul tău. De-aş fi, iubito, paserea mică Ce pintre frunze saltă uşor, Pe-a tale braţe stând fără frică, N-aş vrea în lume ca să mai zbor. De-aş fi, iubito, vântul de seară, Eu nicio floare n-aş îngâna, Ci cât e noaptea de primăvară Pe sânu-ţi fraged m-aş legăna. De-aş fi, iubito, îngerul care Te-adoarme noaptea cu glasul său, Ţi-aş fura tainic o sărutare Şi-n cer te-aş duce pe sânul meu.

Romanze
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Romanian (Română)
Würd' ich als Blume herrlich erblühen an eines Baches grünendem Rand, ich wollte duften für dich und glühen und freudig welken in deiner Hand. Wär' ich ein Vöglein hüpfend im Walde von Zweig zu Zweige in eilender Hast, auf deine Arme wollte ich balde mich niederlassen zu süßer Rast. Wär' ich des Windes schmeichelndes Wehen in holder, lieblicher Maiennacht, ich wiegte leise mit zartem Flehen an deinem Busen mich weich und sacht. Wär' ich ein Engel, stieg' ich hernieder, in süßem Schlummer mich dir zu nah'n, ich küsste dich und ich schwebte wieder mit dir zum heitern Himmel hinan.
