Was streift vorbei im Dämmerlicht?
Language: German (Deutsch)
Was streift vorbei im Dämmerlicht?
War's nicht mein holdes Kind?
Und wehten aus dem Körbchen nicht
Die Rosendüfte lind?
Ja, morgen ist das Maienfest!
O morgen welche Lust!
Wann sie sich glänzend schauen läßt,
Die Röslein an der Brust.

Veille
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Qui passe par là dans le crépuscule ?
N'était-ce point ma gracieuse enfant ?
Et de sa corbeille ne s'échappe-t-il point
Le doux parfum de la rose ?
Oui, demain c'est la fête de mai !
Ô quelle volupté demain !
Quand elle se fera voir resplendissante,
Une petite rose à la poitrine.
