by Emanuel Geibel (1815 - 1884)
Translation Singable translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Sur les rives fleuries
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Chosen for Diff
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.
