Ebro caudaloso
Language: Spanish (Español)
Ebro caudaloso, fértil ribera, deleitosos prados, fresca arboleda: decilde á mi niña que en vosotros huelga, si entre sus contentos de mí se acuerda? Aljófar precioso, que la verde yerba bordas y matizas con el alva bella: decilde á mi niña cuando se recrea si entre sus contentos de mí se acuerda? Álamos frondosos, blancas arenas por donde mi niña alegre pasea: decidle si acaso oido os presta, si entre sus contentos de mí se acuerda? Parlerillas aves, que á la aurora bella haceis dulce salva con harpadas lenguas: decilde á mi niña, flor de esta ribera, si entre sus contentos de mí se acuerda?

Flutenreicher Ebro
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español)
Flutenreicher Ebro, Blühendes Ufer, All ihr grünen Matten, Schatten des Waldes, Fraget die Geliebte, Die unter euch ruhet, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket! Und ihr thauigen Perlen, Die ihr im Frühroth Den grünenden Rasen Bunt mit Farben sticket, Fraget die Geliebte, Wenn sie Kühlung athmet, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket! Ihr laubigen Pappeln, Schimmerde Pfade, Wo leichten Fußes Mein Mädchen wandelt, Wenn sie euch begegnet, Fraget sie, fragt sie, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket! Ihr schwärmenden Vögel, Die den Sonnenaufgang Singend ihr begrüßet Mit Flötenstimmen, Fraget die Geliebte, Dieses Ufers Blume, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket!
