Daphne, deine Rosenwangen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT ENG FRE

Daphne, deine Rosenwangen
soll ich morgen wieder sehn!
Einzig du bist mein Verlangen,
Gold kann ich bei dir verschmäh'n.

Weg mit Hoheit, weg mit Schätzen,
keinen Wunsch erregt ihr mir.
Daphne nur kann mich ergötzen,
glücklich bin ich nur bei ihr.

Fürsten würden mich beneiden,
wüssten sie mein Glücke ganz.
Mein Triumph gibt höh're Freuden
als der Helden Lorbeerkranz.

Ewig, ewig uns zu lieben
bleibet uns're süße Pflicht.
Bei so feur'gen, lautern Trieben
fehlt es uns an Glücke nicht.

Daphné, tes joues roses

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

Daphné, tes joues roses,
Je vais les voir à nouveau demain !
Toi seule es mon désir,
Je peux repousser l'or pour toi.

Au diable les titres, au diable les trésors,
Aucun désir ne m'excite.
Seule Daphné peut me réjouir,
Je ne suis heureux que près d'elle.

Les princes m'envieraient
S'ils connaissaient tout mon bonheur.
Mon triomphe me rend heureux
À l'égal de la couronne de laurier des héros.

Pour toujours, pour toujours nous aimer
Demeure notre doux devoir.
Avec ces désirs ardents et  purs
Nous ne manquons pas de bonheur.
