Sag es nicht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Sag es nicht, geliebtes Herzchen,
sag es nicht, daß wir heimlich uns gesprochen,
sag es nicht; daß sich unsre Lippen fanden,
wir zusammen aufgestanden,
sag es nicht, sag es nicht.

Sag es nicht, geliebtes Herzchen,
sag es nicht, daß wir Nacht im Wald gewesen,
sag es nicht; daß dein Heiland wir begegnet,
er uns heimlich eingesegnet;
sag es nicht, geliebtes Herzchen,
sag es nicht, sag es nicht, sag es nicht.

Ne le dis pas

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Ne le dis pas, cœur chéri,
Ne le dis pas que nous parlions en secret,
Ne le dis pas que nos lèvres
Que nous nous sommes levés ensemble,
Ne le dis pas, ne le dis pas.

Ne le dis pas, cœur chéri,
Ne le dis pas que la nuit nous étions dans le bois,
Ne le dis pas que nous avons rencontré ton Sauveur,
Qu'il nous a bénis en secret ;
Ne le dis pas, cœur chéri,
Ne le dis pas, ne le dis pas, ne le dis pas.
