Und bist du erst mein ehlich Weib
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: FRE
Und bist du erst mein ehlich Weib, Dann bist du zu beneiden, Dann lebst du in lauter Zeitvertreib, In lauter Pläsier und Freuden. Und wenn du schiltst und wenn du tobst, Ich werd es geduldig leiden; Doch wenn du meine Verse nicht lobst, Laß ich mich von dir scheiden.

О, если будешь ты, дитя, моей женой
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
О, если будешь ты, дитя, моей женой, Не будешь ты ни в чём нуждаться никогда, Ты неизменно будешь счастлива со мной, И будет жизнь твоя забав полна всегда. Ты будешь плакать, и кричать, меня бранить, Капризы, крики, брань — я всё снести готов, Но раз стихи мои не будешь ты хвалить, Я разведусь с тобой тотчас без дальних слов.
