Über allen Zauber Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Sie hüpfte [vor]1 mir auf grünem Plan,
Und sah die [fahlenden]2 Linden an
Mit trauernden Kindesaugen;
"Die stillen Lauben sind entlaubt,
Die Blumen hat der Herbst geraubt,
Der Herbst will gar nichts taugen.
Ach, du bist ein schönes Ding,
Frühling!3
Ueber allen Zauber Frühling."

Das zierliche Kind, wie's vor mir schwebt!
Aus Lilien und Rosen zart gewebt,
Mit Augen gleich den Sternen; -
"Blüht mir dein holdes Angesicht,
Dann mag, fürwahr ich zage nicht,
Der Mayen sich entfernen.
Färbet nur des Lebens Trübe
Liebe:
Ueber allen Zauber Liebe."

L'amour au‑dessus de toute magie
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Elle sautait avec moi sur la pelouse verte,
Et regardait les tilleuls en train de se faner
Avec des yeux d'enfant tristes ;
Les arbres silencieux perdent leurs feuilles ;
L'automne avait volé les fleurs.
L'automne n'est utile  à rien du tout.
Ah, tu es une chose adorable,
Printemps !
Au-dessus de toute magie, le printemps.

L'enfant gracieux qui apparaît devant moi !
Délicatement orné de lys et de roses ,
Ses yeux comme des étoiles ;
Ton visage adorable fleurit pour moi,
Alors, en vérité, je ne peux pas hésiter,
Mai est parti.
Les nuages de la vie sont colorés seulement colorés par
L'amour :
Au-dessus de toute magie, l'amour.
