Im Wasser wogt die Lilie

Our translations: ENG FRE

Im Wasser wogt die Lilie, die schlanke, hin und her!
Doch irrst du, Freund, sobald du sagst, sie schwanke hin und her!
Es wurzelt ja so fest ihr Fuß auf tiefem Meeresgrund.
Ihr Haupt nur wiegt ein lieblicher Gedanke hin und her!

Le brillant nénuphar ondule sur l'eau,de...

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Lang)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Le svelte nénuphar ondule sur l'eau,de ci, de là !
Mais tu te trompes, ami, quand tu dis qu'il vacille de ci, de là !
Il enracine si fermement son pied sur fond de l'eau.
Il berce seulement une chère pensée dans sa tête, de ci, de là !
