Flutenreicher Ebro
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)
Flutenreicher Ebro, Blühendes [Ufer]1, All ihr grünen Matten, Schatten des Waldes, Fraget die Geliebte, Die unter euch ruhet, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket! Und ihr thauigen Perlen, Die ihr im Frühroth Den grünenden Rasen Bunt mit Farben [sticket]1, Fraget die Geliebte, Wenn sie Kühlung athmet, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket! Ihr laubigen Pappeln, Schimmerde Pfade, Wo leichten Fußes Mein Mädchen wandelt, Wenn sie euch begegnet, Fraget sie, fragt sie, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket! Ihr schwärmenden Vögel, Die den Sonnenaufgang Singend ihr begrüßet Mit Flötenstimmen, Fraget die Geliebte, Dieses Ufers Blume, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket!

Sur les rives fleuries
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Sur tes rives fleuries, ondulante Ebro quand tu verras passer ma bienaimée. ma bienaimée aux pieds légers demande si, heureuse elle pense encore à moi. Peupliers aux feuilles scintillantes quand sous vos ombrages elle se repose, par vos doux murmures tendrement bercée, demande si, heureuse elle pense encore à moi.
