Liebesliedchen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Serbian (Српски) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Winter vorbei,
   Herzchen, mein Liebchen!
Lenz ist gekommen!
Vögelein singen,
   Herzchen, mein Liebchen!
Blühen die Röslein,
Liebet sich alles,
   Herzchen, mein Liebchen!
Will Zeit nicht verlieren,
Aber du, Goldchen!
   Herzchen, mein Liebchen!
Liebchen, nicht küssen,
Ist Zeit verlieren,
   Herzchen, mein Liebchen!
Küß' mich geschwinde!

Translator's note: "Das obige Liedchen ist eines der sehr wenigen, bei denen sich die Übersetzerin einige Freiheiten erlaubt hat, da sie der Meinung war, daß rein lyrische Ergüsse nie wörtlich übersetzt, sondern geistig reproducirt werden sollten. Sie gibt das nämliche noch einmal, wörtlich treuer und mit Nachahmung des (unvollkommenen) Reims des Originals."

Love song
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Winter is over,
   Little heart, my little love!
Spring has come!
Birds sing,
   Little heart, my little love!
The roses are in bloom,
All things love one another,
   Little heart, my little love!
I do not wish to waste time,
But you, my little golden one,
   Little heart, my little love!
Darling, not to be kissing
Constitutes wasting time,
   Little heart, my little love!
Kiss me quickly!
