1.
Language: French (Français) 
Au magnifique mois de mai,
Lorsque tous les bourgeons s'ouvraient,
Dans mon cœur 
L'amour s'est éveillé.

Au magnifique mois de mai,
Lorsque tous les oiseaux chantaient,
Je lui ai avoué
Mes aspirations et mes désirs.

2. Wehmut  [sung text not yet checked]
by Victor Ernst Nessler (1841 - 1890), "Wehmut", op. 21 (Drei Lieder) no. 3
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich kann wohl manchmal singen,
Als ob ich fröhlich sei,
Doch heimlich Tränen dringen,
Da wird das Herz mir frei.

[Es]1 lassen Nachtigallen,
Spielt draußen Frühlingsluft,
Der Sehnsucht Lied erschallen
Aus ihres [Kerkers]2 Gruft.

[Da]3 lauschen alle Herzen,
Und alles ist erfreut,
Doch keiner [fühlt]3 die Schmerzen,
Im Lied das tiefe Leid.

2. Parfois je peux bien chanter
Language: French (Français) 
Parfois je peux bien chanter,
Comme si j'étais gai,
Pourtant de secrètes larmes percent,
Et cela me libère le cœur.

Les rossignols,
Quand au-dehors joue le zéphyr printanier,
Font résonner leur chant nostalgique
De leur geôle sépulcrale.

Alors tous les cœurs écoutent,
Et tous se réjouissent.
Pourtant personne ne ressent la douleur
Du chant, sa profonde peine.
