Serenade
Language: French (Français)
La lune éclaire doucement le ciel d'un soir d'été; Les astres d'or au firmament promènent leur clarté. Viens, Mignonne, à mon chant! A la rosée aux fils d'argent s'abreuve un tendre coeur; Cherchons dans l'ombre qui s'étend le calme et la fraicheur! Viens, Mignonne, à mon chant! viens, Mignonne, à mon chant! L'arbre et le lierre tenderment reposent enlacés; endormons nous languissamment d'ardent amour bercés; Viens, Mignonne, à mon chant, viens, Mignonne, à mon chant! Le rossignol gazouille, aimant, allors que fuit le jour; Ton coeur atil compris mon chant, Mignonne, et mon amour? Viens, Mignonne, à mon chant! lorsque l'ombre descend.

Serenade
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Es erglänzt der Mond in Sommernacht, lädt ein zu süsser Ruh; In des Himmels Blau der Sterne Pracht winkt holden Gruss uns zu. Komm, mein Liebchen, o komm! Der Nachtthau, der wie Silber glänzt, kühlt heissen Suhnsuchtsdrang; Des Laub, das frisch die Berge kränzt, die Seel stimmt zum Gesang. Komm, mein Liebchen, o komm, Komm, mein Liebchen, o komm! Auch ´s Veilchen aus dem stillen Grund lächelt so lieb und verschämt; Süss ist sein Hauch, der thut uns kund, warum es still sich grämt. Komm, o Liebchen, komm, komm, o Liebchen, komm! Im Wald der Nachtigallen Chor weckt süsse Leibespein; leg´ dich, mein Liebchen, ihr an´s Ohr, dring ihr in´s Herz hinein. Komm, mein Liebchen, o komm! komm, mein Liebchen, o komm!
