Romance de Mignon
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Le connais-tu, ce radieux pays Où brille dans les branches d'or des fruits? Un doux zéphir embaume l'air Et le laurier s'unit au myrte vert. Le connais-tu, le connais-tu? Là-bas, là-bas, mon bien-aimé, Courons porter nos pas. Le connais-tu, ce merveilleux séjour Où tout me parle encor de notre amour? Où chaque objet me dit avec douleur: Qui t'a ravi ta joie et ton bonheur? Le connais-tu, le connais-tu? Là-bas, là-bas, mon bien-aimé, Courons porter nos pas.

Mignons romance
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the French (Français)
Ken je het stralende land Waar het goud van vruchten blinkt in de takken? Een zachte zefier parfumeert de lucht En de laurier mengt zich met groene mirte. Ken je het, ken je het? Daarheen, daarheen, mijn lief, Snellen wij gezwind. Ken je die prachtige plek Waar alles van onze liefde spreekt? Waar alles mij met smart zegt: Wie heeft jou je vreugde en geluk ontnomen? Ken je die, ken je die? Daarheen, daarheen, mijn lief, Snellen wij gezwind.
