1. Chanson de la Mariée
Language: French (Français)
Réveille-toi, réveille-toi, perdrix mignonne, Ouvre au matin tes ailes. Trois grains de beauté, mon cœur en est brûlé! Vois le ruban d'or que je t'apporte, Pour le nouer autour de tes cheveux. Si tu veux, ma belle, viens nous marier! Dans nos deux familles, tous sont alliés!

1. Das Lied der Braut
Language: German (Deutsch)
Erwache, erwache, niedliches Rebhuhn, Öffne am Morgen deine Flügel. Drei Muttermale, mein Herz ist dafür entbrannt! Sieh das Goldband, das ich dir bringe, Um es um deine Haare zu binden. Wenn du, meine Schöne, willst, so lass uns heiraten! In unseren zwei Familien sind alle verschwägert!
