Le chant du bandit
Language: French (Français)
Que les amans chérissent le silence des nuits que les bois retentissent de leurs tristes ennuis ! Les vents et la tempête qui grondent sur ma tête dans mes sombres forêts ont pour moi plus d'attraits ! Que sous le verd feuillage un couple langoureux écoute le ramage du rossignol joyeux. Les vents etc. Que le poète encore vienne d'un air rêveur de la naissante aurore admirer la splendeur. Les vents etc.

Das Lied des Räubers
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Mögen Verliebte gehen einsam zum stillen Hain, seufzend der Nacht gestehen ihre langweil'ge Pein; wann laut die Winde sausen, Stürme mein Haupt umbrausen, fühlet des Räubers Brust höh'ren Mut, größ're Lust! Mag unter grünen Hallen schmachtend ein Liebespaar lauschen der Nachtigallen Klagen entzücked gar; wann laut usw. Mag auch begeistert träumen ein dichterisch Gemüt, wann an den Himmelsräumen Aurorens Strahl erglüht; wann laut usw.
