1. Mes chants sont empoisonnés
Language: French (Français) 
Mes chants sont empoisonnés -
Comment pourrait-il en être autrement ?
Tu as versé du poison
Au plus profond de ma vie en fleur.

Comment pourrait-il en être autrement ?
Je porte dans mon cœur de nombreux serpents,
Et toi, ma bien-aimée !

Du liebst mich nicht, du liebst mich nicht,
Das kümmert mich gar wenig;
Schau' ich dir nur ins Angesicht,
So bin ich froh wie'n König.

Du hassest, hassest mich sogar,
So spricht dein rotes Mündchen;
Reich mir es nur zum Küssen dar,
So tröst' ich mich, mein Kindchen.

Language: French (Français) 
Tu ne m'aimes pas, tu ne m'aimes pas,
Cela me tracasse très peu ;
Il me suffit de regarder ton visage
Pour être heureux comme un roi.

Tu me détestes, tu me hais même,
Ainsi parle ta petite bouche rouge ;
Offre-la moi juste pour un baiser,
Ainsi  mon enfant, je me consolerai.

O schwöre nicht und küsse nur,
Ich glaube keinem Weiberschwur!
Dein Wort ist süß, doch süßer ist
Der Kuß, den ich dir abgeküßt!
Den hab ich, und dran glaub ich auch,
Das Wort ist eitel Dunst und Hauch.

O schwöre, Liebchen, immerfort,
Ich glaube dir aufs bloße Wort!
An [deinen]1 Busen sink ich hin,
Und glaube, daß ich selig bin;
Ich glaube, Liebchen, ewiglich,
Und noch viel länger, liebst du mich.

Language: French (Français) 
Ô ne jure pas, embrasse-moi seulement,
Je ne crois aucun serment de femme !
Tes paroles sont douces, mais plus doux
Le baiser que je t'ai ravi !
Celui-ci je l'ai, et en outre je crois
Que les paroles sont futiles brume et souffle.

Ô  bien-aimée jure toujours,
Je te crois sur un seul mot !
Quand je me couche sur ton sein,
Je crois que je suis bienheureux ;
Je crois, chérie,  que pour l'éternité
Tu m'aimeras, et plus longtemps encore.

Wirst doch wie in der Fremde sein.

Enfuis-toi avec moi et sois ma femme,
Et repose sur mon cœur ;
Au loin à l'étranger que mon cœur
Soit ta patrie et ta maison paternelle.

Si tu ne t'enfuies pas, alors je mourrai ici
Et tu seras solitaire et seule ;
Et tu resteras dans la maison de ton père,
Mais ce sera un pays étranger pour toi.

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sorge nie, daß ich verrate
Meine Liebe vor der Welt,
Wenn mein Mund ob deiner Schönheit
Von Metaphern überquellt.

Unter einem Wald von Blumen
Liegt, in still verborgner Hut,
Jenes glühende Geheimnis,
Jene tief geheime Glut.

Sprühn einmal verdächtge Funken
Aus den Rosen - sorge nie!
Diese Welt glaubt nicht an Flammen,
Und sie nimmts für Poesie.

Language: French (Français) 
Ne crains pas que je te trahisse,
Toi mon amour devant le monde,
Quand ma bouche déborde
De métaphores de ta beauté.

Sous une forêt de fleurs,
Dans un abri caché, il y a
Ce secret rayonnant,
Cette braise secrète.

Si un jour des étincelles suspectes
Jaillissent des roses, n'aies crainte !
Ce monde ne croit pas aux flammes
Et les prend pour de la poésie.
