Je vous salue Marie, pleine de grâce.

Maintenant et à l'heure de notre mort.
Je vous salue Marie.

3. O was bleibt dem armen Herzen  [sung text not yet checked]
by Richard Schweizer (1868 - 1906), "O was bleibt dem armen Herzen", op. 8 (Vier Lieder) no. 3, published 1896 [ voice and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[O was]1 bleibt dem armen Herzen,
Wenn die schöne Liebe floh!

Heimlich zehrt an mir ein Wehe
Nach den süßen Jugendscherzen,
Da ich in der Holden Nähe
Tage lebte still und froh;
Und verwaiset im Gemüte
Fühl' ich's unter bittern Schmerzen:
Einmal bringt der Lenz die Blüte,
Aber auch nur einmal so.

O was bleibt dem armen Herzen,
Wenn die schöne Liebe floh!

3. Ô Que reste-t-il à ce pauvre cœur
Language: French (Français) 
Que reste-t-il à ce pauvre cœur
Quand le bel amour s'est enfui !

Un chagrin me ronge en secret,
Après les douces plaisanteries de la jeunesse,
Quand, près de ma bien-aimée,
Je vivais des jours tranquilles et heureux ;
Et, dans mon cœur orphelin,
Je le ressens avec une douleur amère :
Le printemps apporte la floraison une fois,
Mais une seule fois seulement.

Ô que reste-t-il à ce pauvre cœur,
Quand le bel amour s'est enfui !

4. Minneweise  [sung text not yet checked]
by Richard Schweizer (1868 - 1906), "Minneweise", op. 8 (Vier Lieder) no. 4, published 1896 [ voice and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie holde Schwestern
[Blühn]1 die Rosen
Im tiefen Walde rot und weiß;
Da rauschte gestern
[Heimlich]2 Kosen
Von Mund zu Munde lind und leis.
Durchs grüne Laub die Sonne sah –
Klinge, mein Liedel!
Wohl mir, ich weiß, was da geschah!

Unter den Zweigen
Wilder Reben,
Wo tief im Busch der Finke schlug,
Da hat zu eigen
Sich mir gegeben,
Die ich [in treuem]3 Sinne trug.
Nun steht mein Herz in [Freuden]4 ganz –
Klinge, mein Liedel!
Aus [Dornen]5 bricht der Rose Glanz.

Da ihr zum Ruhme
Meinem Liede
Gesagt, es sei wie duft'ger Wein,
Soll seine Blume
Hinfort nur Friede
Und alle Lust der Minne sein.
Gott wolle, daß es so gescheh' –
Klinge, mein Liedel!
[Doch klinge nimmermehr: O weh!]6

4. Mélodie d'amour
Language: French (Français) 
Telles de charmantes sœurs,
Les roses rouges et blanches
Fleurissent au profond de la forêt ;
Là, hier se percevait, 
Un tendre et secret badinage
Allant de bouche en bouche, doux et léger.
À travers les feuilles vertes, le soleil regardait.
Chante, ma petite chanson !
Suis-je heureux ! je sais ce qui s’y passa !

Sous les rameaux
De vignes sauvages,
Là où le pinson chantait au fond du buisson,
Celle que je portais dans mon esprit
S’est donnée à moi,
En toute intimité.
À présent, mon cœur est empli de joie.
Chante, ma petite chanson !
Des épines jaillit l’éclat de la rose.

Puisque à la louange
De mon chant,
On a dit qu’il était comme du vin parfumé,
Que désormais sa fleur 
Célèbre seulement la paix
Et tous les délices de l’amour.
Que Dieu veuille qu’il en soit ainsi.
Chante, ma petite chanson !
Mais ne chante plus jamais : « ô malheur ! »
