Lachen und Weinen zu jeglicher Stunde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE IRI
Lachen und Weinen zu jeglicher Stunde
Ruht bei der Lieb' auf so mancherlei Grunde.
Morgens lacht' ich vor Lust;
Und warum ich nun weine
Bei des Abendes Scheine,
Ist mir selb' nicht bewußt.

Weinen und Lachen zu jeglicher Stunde
Ruht bei der Lieb' auf so mancherlei Grunde.
Abends weint' ich vor Schmerz;
Und warum du erwachen
Kannst am Morgen mit Lachen,
Muß ich dich fragen, o Herz.

Lachen en huilen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Eerst moeten lachen en dan weer gaan huilen:
Waarom wil liefde ze telkens weer ruilen?
's Morgens lach ik zeer content,
En waarom ik moet huilen,
Nu de zon weer gaat schuilen,
Is mij zelf niet bekend.

Eerst moeten huilen en dan weer gaan stralen;
Waarom moet liefde dit telkens herhalen?
's Avonds huil ik van verdriet,
maar waarom dit bij 't opstaan
zo in lachen kan omslaan,
dat weet mijn hart wel, ik niet.
