Ein Kindertotenlied
 (Sung text for setting by E. Wolff)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Niemand soll mich weinen sehn
Als in Feld und Aue
Blumen, deren Augen stehn,
Meinen gleich, im Thaue.

Sollt' ich vor den Leuten weinen,
Die, ich weiß nicht, wie sie's meinen,
Wenn sie mir zu trauern scheinen?
Zu den Blumen will ich gehn,
Denen ich vertraue:
Niemand soll mich weinen sehn,
Als in Feld und Aue.

Personne ne doit me voir pleurer,
Que dans les champs et les prairies
Les fleurs dont les yeux sont
Pareils aux miens, dans la rosée.

Devrais-je pleurer devant les gens
Dont je ne sais pas ce que voudrait dire
Leur air affligé ?
J'irai vers les fleurs
En qui j'ai confiance,
Personne ne doit me voir pleurer,
Que dans les champs et les prairies.
