Es treibt mich hin, es treibt mich her!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Es treibt mich hin, es treibt mich her!
Noch wenige Stunden, dann soll ich sie schauen,
sie selber, die schönste der schönen Jungfrauen; -
du treues Herz, was pochst du so schwer!

Die Stunden sind aber ein faules Volk!
Schleppen sich behaglich träge,
schleichen gähnend ihre Wege; -
tummle dich, du faules Volk!

Tobende Eile mich treibend erfaßt!
Aber wohl niemals liebten die Horen; -
heimlich im grausamen Bunde verschworen,
spotten sie tückisch der Liebenden Hast.

Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ik loop naar hier, ik loop naar daar!
Nog enkele uren, dan zal 'k haar aanschouwen,
Mijn liefste, de mooiste, de mooiste der vrouwen; -
Mijn trouwe hart, wat klop je zwaar!
 
De uren zijn echter van 't luie soort!
Sluipen langzaam, zelfbehaaglijk,
Kruipen geeuwend, onverdraaglijk;
Haast je wat, maak eind'lijk voort!
 
Razende onrust krijgt mij in haar ban!
Maar ja, de liefde haatten de Horen;
Heim'lijk eendrachtig tot wreedheid gezworen,
Drijven zij spot met de haastige man.
