O schwöre nicht und küsse nur
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: FRE
O schwöre nicht und küsse nur, Ich glaube keinem Weiberschwur! Dein Wort ist süß, doch süßer ist Der Kuß, den ich dir abgeküßt! Den hab ich, und dran glaub ich auch, Das Wort ist eitel Dunst und Hauch. O schwöre, Liebchen, immerfort, Ich glaube dir aufs bloße Wort! An [deinen]1 Busen sink ich hin, Und glaube, daß ich selig bin; Ich glaube, Liebchen, ewiglich, Und noch viel länger, liebst du mich.

Ô ne jure pas, embrasse‑moi seulement
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Ô ne jure pas, embrasse-moi seulement, Je ne crois aucun serment de femme ! Tes paroles sont douces, mais plus doux Le baiser que je t'ai ravi ! Celui-ci je l'ai, et en outre je crois Que les paroles sont futiles brume et souffle. Ô bien-aimée jure toujours, Je te crois sur un seul mot ! Quand je me couche sur ton sein, Je crois que je suis bienheureux ; Je crois, chérie, que pour l'éternité Tu m'aimeras, et plus longtemps encore.
