Der gute Rat
 (Sung text for setting by M. Reger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Hier ein Weilchen! dort ein Weilchen!
Von der Rose bis zum Veilchen
Geht der Schmetterling nach Mäulchen,
Küßt er alle Blumen rings herum.
Leicht läßt jede sich besiegen,
Gern läßt sie ihn weiter fliegen:
Denn der Falter ist verschwiegen
Und zum Glück auch stumm.

Soll dein stolzer Plan gelingen,
Willst du jedes Herz bezwingen:
Ahme nach den Schmetterlingen,
Sei bescheiden und so stumm wie sie!
Laut laß' keinen Sieg dich freuen!
Denn, wisset: Es verzeihen
Mädchen einem Ungetreuen,
Einem Schwätzer nie.
