Komm, Liebchen, komm! Die Nacht ist hell
Language: German (Deutsch)
Komm, Liebchen, komm! Die Nacht ist hell,
Und frische Lüftchen gaukeln.
Wie möcht' ich dich auf leiser Well'
Mit [schlankem Kahne]1 schaukeln.
Komm, Liebchen, komm! Uns ruft die Nacht,
Mein Herz schlägt treu und ehrlich;
Die Mutter schläft, dein Liebster wacht,
Was wäre da gefährlich?

Kom, liefje, kom! Licht is de nacht
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Kom, liefje, kom! Licht is de nacht,
Er dart’len briesjes, fijne,
Hoe graag zou ‘k jou op golfjes zacht
In ’n ranke boot doen deinen.
Kom, liefje, kom! Ons roept de nacht,
Mijn hart bemint jou waarlijk;
Je moeder slaapt, je minnaar wacht,
Wat is dan toch gevaarlijk?
Subtitle: "Barcarole"
