Von der Schönheit
Language: German (Deutsch) after the German (Deutsch)
Junge Mädchen pflücken Blumen, Pflücken Lotosblumen an dem Uferrande. Zwischen Büschen und Blättern sitzen sie, Sammeln Blüten in den Schoß und rufen Sich einander Neckereien zu. Goldne Sonne webt um die Gestalten, Spiegelt sie im blanken Wasser wider. Sonne spiegelt ihre schlanken Glieder, Ihre süßen Augen wider, Und der Zephyr hebt mit Schmeichelkosen das Gewebe Ihrer Ärmel auf, führt den Zauber Ihrer Wohlgerüche durch die Luft. O sieh, was tummeln sich für schöne Knaben Dort an dem Uferrand auf mut'gen Rossen, Weithin glänzend wie die Sonnenstrahlen; Schon zwischen dem Geäst der grünen Weiden Trabt das jungfrische Volk einher! Das Roß des einen wiehert fröhlich auf Und scheut und saust dahin; Über Blumen, Gräser, wanken hin die Hufe, Sie zerstampfen jäh im Sturm die hingesunknen Blüten. Hei! Wie flattern im Taumel seine Mähnen, Dampfen heiß die Nüstern! Goldne Sonne webt um die Gestalten, Spiegelt sie im blanken Wasser wider. Und die schönste von den Jungfraun sendet Lange Blicke ihm der Sehnsucht nach. Ihre stolze Haltung is nur Verstellung. In dem Funkeln ihrer großen Augen, In dem Dunkel ihres heißen Blicks Schwingt klagend noch die Erregung ihres Herzens nach.

Da beleza
Language: Portuguese (Português) after the German (Deutsch)
Jovens meninas colhem flores, Colhem flores de lótus na margem do rio. Sentadas entre arbustos e folhas, Colecionam botões no colo e falam Leves provocações umas pras outras. O sol dourado se entrelaça nas figuras, espelhando-as na clara água. O sol espelha seus finos membros, Seus doces olhos, E o Zéfiro levanta cariciosamente o tecido De suas mangas, levando a magia Dos seus perfumes pelo ar. Ó veja, como galopam belos meninos Lá na margem do rio sobre corajosos cavalos, Correndo brilhantes como os raios de sol, Já troteiam entre os galhos dos verdes pinheiros Os jovens e frescos moços! O cavalo de um relincha alegremente E se assusta e foge; Sobre flores e gramas tremem seus cascos, Pisoteando tempestuosamente as flores que caem. Ei! Como revoa a crina em sua fúria, Suas narinas bufando calor! O sol dourado se entrelaça nas figuras, espelhando-as na clara água. E a mais bela das meninas lança Longos olhares saudosos atrás dele. Sua postura orgulhosa é apenas fingimento. Nas fagulhas de seus grandes olhos, Na escuridão de sua quente mirada, A agitação de seu coração balança lamentando.
