Hun er sød, Hun er blød, Hun er smal om sit liv; Hun er bøjelig Og føjelig Og rank som et siv. Hendes kind Er så lind, Og som rosens så varm; Hun er nysselig Og kysselig På mund, hånd og arm. Ak, hvor net, Og hvor let Som et svævende fnug, Kan hun neje sig Og dreje sig På foden så smuk! Hvor hun stod På sin fod, Hvor hun gik og hun sprang, Var hun nydelig Og frydelig Som fløjternes klang. Og så kæk Som en bæk Mellem blomsternes flok, Glimter øjets blink Fornøjet, flink Bag nødbrune lok. Hendes røst Er min trøst Midt i sorgernes nat; -- Al den herlighed Og kærlighed Er min søde skat!

Elle est gentille, Elle est tendre, Elle a la taille fine ; Elle est souple Et docile Et droite comme un jonc. Sa joue Est aussi douce Et aussi ardente que la rose ; Elle est mignonne Et on peut la baiser Sur la bouche, la main et le bras. Ah, combien jolie, Et combien légère, Comme un flocon flottant, Elle peut faire la révérence Et se tourner Sur son si joli pied ! Où qu'elle soit Sur son pied, Où qu'elle aille et saute Elle est charmante Et joyeuse Comme le son de la flûte. Et aussi hardi Qu'un ruisseau Au milieu des fleurs, Miroite l'éclat de son œil Joyeux, vif, Derrière une boucle châtain. Sa voix Est ma consolation Au milieu des nuits de chagrins ; Toute cette splendeur Et toute cette tendresse Sont mon doux trésor !
