Auf geheimem Waldespfade
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf geheimem Waldespfade Schleich' ich gern im Abendschein An das öde Schilfgestade, Mädchen, und gedenke dein! Wenn sich dann der Busch verdüstert, Rauscht das Rohr geheimnisvoll, Und es klaget und es flüstert, Daß ich weinen, weinen soll. Und ich mein', ich höre wehen Leise deiner Stimme Klang, Und im Weiher untergehen Deinen lieblichen Gesang.

Le long d'un chemin secret de la forêt
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Le long d'un chemin secret de la forêt J'aime me faufiler dans la lumière du soir ; Je vais vers la rive déserte couverte de roseaux, Ma mie, et je pense à toi ! Quand les buissons deviennent noirs, Les roseaux murmurent mystérieusement, Il y a des lamentations, des chuchotements, De sorte que je pleure et ne peux m'empêcher de pleurer. Et je pense que j'entends flotter Doucement le son de ta voix, Et en bas dans l'étang Ton adorable chant.
