View original-language texts alone: Walzer Gesänge nach toskanischen Volksliedern von Ferdinand Gregorovius
Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe, Du fliegst auf und singst so früh, Streuest durch die Himmelsbläue Deine süße Melodie. Die da schlafen noch am Morgen, Alle [Liebende]1 in Ruh', Mit dem zwitschernden Gesange Die Versunk'nen weckest du. Auf! nun auf! ihr Liebesschläfer, Weil die Morgenschwalbe rief; Denn die Nacht wird den betrügen, Der den hellen Tag verschlief.

Chère hirondelle, petite hirondelle, Tu voles haut et tu chantes si tôt, Semant à travers le bleu du ciel Ta douce mélodie. Ceux qui dorment encore dans le matin, Tous les amants qui se reposent, Avec le gazouillis de tes chants Tu les réveilles de leur sommeil. Debout ! debout maintenant ! amants endormis, Ainsi l'hirondelle appelle : Car la nuit trompera Celui qui dort pendant le jour brillant.

Klagen ist der Mond [gekommen]1 Vor der Sonne Angesicht, Soll ihm noch der Himmel frommen, Da du Glanz ihm nahmst und Licht? Seine Sterne ging er zählen, Und er will vor Leid vergehn: Zwei der schönsten Sterne fehlen, Die in Deinem Antlitz stehn.

La lune est venue se plaindre Devant les yeux du soleil : À quoi lui sert le ciel, Si tu as pris son éclat et sa lumière ? Elle est allée compter ses étoiles, Et elle mourra de chagrin : Deux des plus belles étoiles manquent, Celles qui appartiennent à ton visage.

Fensterlein, nachts bist du zu, Tust auf dich am Tag mir zu Leide: Mit Nelken umringelt bist du; O öffne dich, Augenweide! Fenster aus köstlichen Stein, Drinnen die Sonne, die Sterne da draußen, O Fensterlein heimlich und klein, Sonne [darinnen und Rosen daraußen]1.

Petite étoile bleue, tu dois te taire, Ne révèle pas le secret. Tu ne dois pas montrer à tout le monde Le lien silencieux entre nos cœurs. Les autres peuvent rester dans la douleur, Qu'ils disent ce qu'ils veulent ; Nos cœurs sont contents, Nous sommes heureux tous les deux en silence.

Briefchen schrieb und warf in den Wind ich, Sie fielen ins Meer, und sie fielen auf Sand. Ketten von Schnee und von Eise, die bind' ich, Die Sonne zerschmilzt sie in meiner Hand.

J'ai écrit des petites lettres et je les ai jetées au vent, Elles sont tombées dans la mer, et elles sont tombées sur le sable. Dans les chaînes de la neige et de la glace, je les ai attachées, Le soleil les fait fondre dans ma main. Maria, Maria, tu dois le noter : Celui qui persiste dans la lutte gagne à la fin. Maria, Maria, tu dois le comprendre : Celui qui persiste dans l'éternité l'emporte.
