Diese Wolken in den Höhen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA LIT SPA
Diese Wolken in den Höhen,
Dieser Vöglein muntrer Zug,
Werden dich, o Huldin, sehen.
Nehmt mich mit im leichten Flug!

Diese Weste werden spielen
Scherzend dir um Wang' und Brust,
In den seidnen Locken wühlen.
Teilt ich mit euch diese Lust!

Hin zu dir von jenen Hügeln
Emsig dieses Bächlein eilt.
Wird ihr Bild sich in dir spiegeln,
Fließ zurück dann unverweilt!

Deze wolken in het blauwe
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Deze wolken in het blauwe,
Deze vogels in de lucht,
Zullen jou, godin, aanschouwen;
Neem mij mee in jullie vlucht!
 
Deze winden zullen spelen,
Schertsend rond jouw borst en wang,
En je zijden lokken strelen;
Mocht ik meedoen in 't gedrang!
 
Vlijtig zie ‘k dit beekje wieg’len
Van die heuvels naar jou heen.
Zal haar beeld zich in jou spieg’len,
Vloei naar hier dan weer meteen!
