Translation Singable translation by Emmanuel Hiel (1834 - 1899)

Zwischen Weizen und Korn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Zwischen Weizen und Korn,
Zwischen Hecken und Dorn,
Zwischen Bäumen und Gras,
Wo [gehts]1 Liebchen? 
Sag mir das.

  Fand mein Holdchen 
  Nicht daheim;
  Muß das Goldchen 
  Draußen sein.
  Grünt und blühet 
  Schön der Mai;
  Liebchen ziehet 
  Froh und frei.

An dem Felsen beim Fluß,
Wo sie reichte den Kuß,
Jenen ersten im Gras, 
Seh' ich etwas!
Ist sie das? --2

Mailied
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Tusschen haver en graan,
tusschen loover en laan,
tusschen hagen en groen,
waar gaat mijn liefken?
In het groen!

'k ind het zoete 
kind niet hier,
buiten loopt 
z'in vollen zwier:
Buiten bloeit 
en groeit de mei,
liefje loopt 
in't veld, jochhei.

Op het strand bij den vloed,
gaf ze mij den kus zoo zoet,
d'eersten zoen in het groen.
Mocht zij het doen!
In het groen?
