Gruß
 (Sung text for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE FRE ITA SPA
Wohin ich geh' und schaue,
In Feld und Wald und Tal,
Vom Hügel hinauf die Aue;
Vom Berg aufwärts weit ins Blaue, 
Grüß ich dich tausendmal.

In meinem Garten find' ich
Viel Blümchen, schön und fein, 
Viel Kränze wohl draus wind' ich
Und tausend Gedanken bind' ich
Und Grüße mit darein.

Dir darf ich keinen reichen,
Du bist zu hoch und schön,
Sie müssen zu bald verbleichen,
Die Liebe ohnegleichen
Bleibt ewig im Herzen stehn.

Le jardinier
 (Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Où que j'aille et que je regarde,
Dans les champs, les forêts et les vallées,
Du haut en bas des montagnes, dans les prairies ;
Bien au-dessus des montagnes, dans l'azur,,
Je te salue mille fois.

Dans mon jardin se trouvent
Beaucoup de belles et délicates fleurs
Dont je tresse de bien belles couronnes
Où j'attache des milliers de pensées
Et mes salutations.

A toi je ne peux en offrir,
Tu es trop noble et trop belle,
Elles devront trop tôt se faner,
Seul un amour sans pareil
Reste éternellement dans le cœur.

 ...
