Geliebter, wo zaudert
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA LIT TUR
Geliebter, wo zaudert
Dein irrender Fuß?
Die Nachtigall plaudert
Von Sehnsucht und [Kuß]1.

Es flüstern die Bäume
Im goldenen Schein,
Es schlüpfen mir Träume
Zum Fenster [herein]2.

Ach! kennst du das Schmachten
Der klopfenden Brust?
Dies Sinnen und Trachten
Voll Qual und voll Lust?

Beflügle die Eile
Und rette mich dir,
Bei nächtlicher Weile
Entfliehn wir von hier.

Die Segel, sie schwellen,
Die Furcht ist nur Tand:
Dort, jenseit den Wellen
Ist väterlich Land.

Die Heimat entfliehet; --
So fahre sie hin!
Die Liebe, sie ziehet
Gewaltig den Sinn.

Horch! wollüstig klingen
Die Wellen im Meer,
Sie hüpfen und springen
Mutwillig einher,

Und sollten sie klagen?
Sie rufen nach dir!
Sie wissen, sie tragen
Die Liebe von hier.

Geliefde, wat aarzelt (Sulima) 
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Geliefde, wat aarzelt
Je dwalende voet?
De nachtegaal parelt
Van liefkozen zoet.
 
De bomen, zij fluist'ren
In 't zacht gouden licht,
En dromen, zij sluipen
Door 't raam in mijn zicht.
 
Ach, ken je het smachten
Van 't bonkende hart?
Dit peinzen en wachten
Vol lust en vol smart?
 
Maak haast, 't mag niet duren,
Kom, red mij toch gauw,
In nacht'lijke uren
Ontvlucht ik met jou.
 
De zeilen, zij bollen,
Zet vrees aan de kant;
Ginds achter de golven
Ligt ons vaderland.
 
Dit vaderland wijkt al,
Ach, laat het maar gaan!
De liefde, zij trekt mij
Geweldig sterk aan.
 
Hoor, wellustig zingen
De golven der zee,
Zij hupp'len en springen
Met ons vrolijk mee.
 
En moesten zij klagen?
Zij roepen om jou!
Zij weten, zij dragen
Een minnende vrouw.
