  Mädchen mit dem roten Mündchen,
Mit den Äuglein süß und klar,
Du mein liebes, kleines Mädchen,
Deiner denk' ich immerdar.

 Lang ist heut der Winterabend,
Und ich möchte bei dir sein,
mit dir schwatzen, mit dir kosen,
Im vertrauten Kämmerlein.

  An die Lippen möcht ich pressen
Deine liebe weiße Hand,
Und mit Thränen sie benetzen,
Deine weiße, liebe Hand.

Jeune fille à la petite bouche rouge

(Sung text translation for setting by O. Dresel)

See original

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

Jeune fille à la petite bouche rouge,
Aux yeux doux et clairs,
Toi ma chère petite jeune fille,
Je pense à toi sans arrêt.

Aujourd'hui la soirée d'hiver est longue
Et je voudrais être près de toi,
Être assis chez toi, et converser avec toi,
Dans l'intimité d'une  petite chambre.

Je voudrais presser sur mes lèvres
Ta petite main blanche
Et la baigner de larmes,
Ta petite main blanche.
