Language: German (Deutsch)
John Anderson, mein Lieb, ... ! Wir haben uns gesehn, Wie rabenschwarz dein Haar, ... , Die Stirne glatt und schön: Nun Glätte nicht, noch Locke, ... , Der schönen Stirne blieb: Doch segne Gott dein schneeig Haupt, John Anderson, mein Lieb! John Anderson, mein Lieb, ... ! Wir klommen froh bergauf, Und manchen heitern Tag, ... , Begrüssten wir im Lauf. Nun abwärts Hand in Hand, ... , Froh wie's bergauf uns trieb, Und unten selges Schlafengehn, John Anderson, mein Lieb!

1. John Anderson, mijn vriend!
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
John Anderson, mijn vriend! Toen ik voor 't eerst jou zag, Was ravenzwart je haar, Je voorhoofd glad, vol lach! Nu ben je oud, gerimpeld, Heeft wit zich aangediend; God zegene je sneeuwwit hoofd, John Anderson, mijn vriend! John Anderson, mijn vriend! Wij klommen blij de berg op, En meen'ge leuke dag Beleefden wij daarop. Omlaag nu hand in hand, De stappen uitgekiend. Beneden wacht een slaapplaats ons, John Anderson, mijn vriend!
