Les filles aux yeux bandés
Cherchent leurs destinées...
Ont ouvert à midi,

Ont ouvert à midi,
Le palais des prairies...
Ont salué la vie,

Ont salué la vie,
Et ne sont point sorties...

Die Mädchen mit den verbundenen Augen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Die Mädchen mit den verbundenen Augen Tut ab die goldenen Binden! Die Mädchen mit den verbundenen Augen Wollten ihr Schicksal finden. Haben zur Mittagsstunde. Laßt an die goldenen Binden! Haben zur Mittagsstunde das Schloß Geöffnet im Wiesengrunde. Haben das Leben gegrüßt. Zieht fester die goldenen Binden. Haben das Leben gegrüßt, Ohne hinaus zu finden.
