Language: German (Deutsch) 
Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes,
das mir in die Brust, die kühle,
hat geschleudert mit dem Blicke
diese wilden Glutgefühle!

Willst du nicht dein Herz erweichen,
willst du, eine Überfromme,
rasten ohne traute Wonne,
oder willst du, daß ich komme?

Rasten ohne traute Wonne,
nicht so bitter will ich büßen.
Komme nur, du schwarzes Auge.
Komme, wenn die Sterne grüßen.

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Spreek, meisje, al te lief kind
dat in mijn toch zo koele borst
met haar blik heeft geslingerd
deze wild-gloeiende gevoelens!

Wil je niet je hart verzachten,
wil je, supervroom vrouwmens,
zonder intieme vreugde blijven
of wil je dat ik bij je kom?

Zonder intieme vreugde blijven -- 
zo bitter wil ik niet boeten.
kom toch, jij zwart oog;
kom, wanneer de sterren groeten.

Die grüne Hopfenranke,

Die junge, schöne Dirne,
so traurig ist ihr Sinn!

Was hebst du dich nicht himmelwärts?
Du höre, schöne Dirne!
Was ist so schwer dein Herz?

Wie höbe sich die Ranke,
der keine Stütze Kraft verleiht?
Wie wäre die Dirne fröhlich,
wenn ihr das Liebste weit?

De groene hoprank
zij kronkelt over de grond;
Het jonge, mooie meisje,
hoe treurig is zij gestemd!

Hoor eens, groene rank,
waarom klim je niet hemelwaarts?
En hoor eens, mooi meisje,
waarom is je hart zo zwaar?

Hoe zou de rank ook klimmen
die geen stok heeft tot steun;
Hoe zou het meisje vrolijk zijn
wanneer haar liefste ver weg is?

Ein kleiner, hübscher Vogel

Wenn ich ein hübscher,

Een klein, vrolijk vogeltje
vloog weg

Als ik een vrolijk

De arglistige lijmstok

De vogel kwam

Daar overkwam hem,

ik aarzelde niet, 
ik deed toch zoals hij.

Wohl schön bewandt
War es vorehe
Mit meinem Leben,
Mit meiner Liebe;
Durch eine Wand,
Ja durch zehn Wände,
Erkannte mich
Des Freundes Sehe;
Doch jetzo, wehe,
Wenn ich dem Kalten
Auch noch so dicht
Vor'm Auge stehe,
Es merkt's sein Auge,
Sein Herze nicht.

Mooi ommuurd
was het voorheen
met mijn leven,
met mijn liefde;
door een muur,
ja, door tien muren heen
zag mij het oog
van mijn vriend.
Maar nu, o wee,
ook al sta ik die koele
kerel vlak voor zijn oog,
het ontgaat zijn oog,
en zijn hart.

zehn eiserne Riegel

Zehn eiserne Riegel
das ist ein Spaß;
