O komme, holde Sommernacht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
O komme, holde Sommernacht,
Verschwiegen;
Dich hat die Liebe recht gemacht
Zum Siegen!
Da brechen manche Knospen los,
Verstohlen,
Da öffnen ihren süßen Schoß
Violen;
Da neigt ihr Haupt im Dämmerschein
Die Rose,
Da wird mein Liebchen auch noch mein,
Das lose!

O kom maar, mooie zomernacht
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
O kom maar, mooie zomernacht,
In zwijgen;
Jou heeft de liefde echt bedacht
Voor krijgen!
Uit knoppen breken bloemen bloot,
Verstolen,
Nu openen hun zoete schoot
Violen;
Nu nijgen ‘t hoofd in ’t schemerlicht
De rozen,
Nu word ‘k ook door mijn schalkse wicht
Verkozen!
