Der Abschied

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Moravian (Moravština)

Our translations: FRE

Komm, mein Mädel, heute abend woll'n wir uns im Tanze dreh'n!
Nein, ich mag nicht mit dir tanzen, ich muß in die Felder geh'n.
In die Felder weit und breit, und dort will ich keinen seh'n!
Nur den Vogel, nur den Falken, nur den Herrgott in der Herrlichkeit.

Komm, mein Mädel, tanz mit mir und dreh' dich auch,
Wie der Vogel, wie der Kranich rings um den Strauch!
Gib mir deine Hände, wirst ja mein am Ende,
Wirst die meine.

L'adieu

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

Viens, ma chérie, ce soir allons danser !
Non, je ne veux pas danser avec toi, je dois aller aux champs,
Dans les champs là-bas loin, et là je ne veux voir personne !
Seulement l'oiseau, seulement le faucon, seulement le Seigneur Dieu dans sa gloire.

Viens, ma chérie, danse avec moi et tourne
Comme un oiseau, comme une grue tout autour du buisson !
Donne-moi tes mains, tu seras mienne à la fin,
Tu seras mienne.
