by Charles-Simon Favart (1710 - 1792)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Ariette
Language: French (Français) 
Chorus
 Je vends des bouquets, de jolis bouquets,
 Ils sont tout frais, ils sont tout frais!
 Je vends des bouquets, de jolis bouquets,
 Ils sont tout frais, tout frais, tout frais! 

Hâtez-vous d'en faire usage,
Un seul jour les endommage! 
(Chorus)

C'est l'image d'un objet charmant,
C'est l'hommage d'un tendre amant.
Hâtez-vous d'en faire usage,
Un seul jour les endommage! 
(Chorus)

Si-tôt qu'on voit la fleur nouvelle,
Il faut promptement la cueillir,
Fraîcheur d'amour passe come elle,
Il n'est qu'un temps pour le plaisir. 
Hâtez-vous d'en faire usage,
C'est la parure du jeune âge! 
(Chorus)

Confirmed with Charles-Simon Favart, La Fée Urgèle, ou Ce qui plaît aux Dames, Comédie en quatre actes, city not named: L'Imprimerie de Christoph Ballard, 1765. Appears in Acte premier, Scene cinquième, page 14.

Das Blumenmädchen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Chorus
 Ich habe gar liebliche Sträußchen feil,
 Duftig und frisch, kauft sie in Eil!
 Ich habe gar liebliche Sträußchen feil,
 Duftig und frisch, o kauft in Eil!

Kommt und kauft die Rosen und Nelken,
Eh' die zarten Blüthen welken! 
(Chorus)

Das sind Sinnbilder süßen Gefühls,
Das sind Pfänder gar reizenden Spiels.
Kommt und kauft die Rosen und Nelken,
Eh' die zarten Blüthen welken!
(Chorus)

Wo Blüthen stehen, da brich sie, Geselle,
Ohne Zaudern, ich rathe dir klug,
Denn Blumen und Liebe welken gar schnelle,
Und ihre Zeit schwindet im Flug.
Eilt, und glaubt mir was ich sage,
Sie sind die Zier der jungen Tage! 
(Chorus)
