Ich hörte ein Sichlein rauschen
 (Sung text for setting by J. Brahms)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
  Ich hörte ein Sichlein rauschen,
Wohl rauschen durch das Korn;
Ich hört ein Mägdlein klagen,
Sie hätt ihr Lieb verlorn.

  Laß rauschen, Lieb, laß rauschen!
Ich acht nicht, wie es geh;
Ich thät mein Lieb vertauschen
In Veiel und grünem Klee

  Hast du ein Buhlen erworben 
In Veiel und grünem Klee
So steh ich hier alleine;
Thut meinem Herzen weh.

Laisse bruire, amour, laisse bruire
 (Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
J'entendais bruire une faucille,
Bien bruire dans les blés,
J'entendais une fille se plaindre
Qu'elle avait perdu son amour.

Laisse bruire, amour, laisse bruire,
Je ne me soucie pas comme elle va.
J'ai fait échange d'amour
Dans les violettes et le trèfle.

As-tu  courtisé une fille
Dans les violettes et le trèfle.
Aussi je suis là seule,
Et mon cœur souffre.
