Hin und wieder fliegen die Pfeile;
Amors leichte Pfeile fliegen
Von dem schlanken goldnen Bogen;
Mädchen, seyd ihr nicht getroffen?
Es ist Glück! Es ist nur Glück.

Warum fliegt er so in Eile?
Jene dort will er besiegen;
Schon ist er vorbei geflogen;
Sorglos bleibt der Busen offen;
Gebet Acht! Er kommt zurück!

Heen en weer, ja, vliegen pijlen

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Heen en weer, ja, vliegen pijlen;
Amors lichte pijlen springen
Van zijn slanke, gouden boogje.
Meisjes, ben je niet getroffen?
Puur geluk! Alleen geluk.

Waarom moet hij toch zo ijlen?
Die daarginds wil hij bedwingen;
Reeds is hij voorbij gevlogen;
Zij blijft bloot haar boezem doffen;
Let maar op! Hij komt terug!
