Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
O wie lieblich ist das Mädchen,
Wie so schön und voll Anmuth!
Sag mir an, du wackrer Seemann,
Der du lebst auf deinem Schiffe,
Ob das Schiff und seine Segel,
Ob die Sterne wohl so schön sind?
Sag mir an, du stolzer Ritter,
Der du gehst im blanken Harnisch,
Ob das Roß und ob die Rüstung,
Ob die Schlachten wohl so schön sind?
Sag mir an, du Hirtenknabe,
Der du deine Herde weidest,
Ob die Lämmer, ob die Matten,
Ob die Berge wohl so schön sind?

Ô comme la fille est charmante
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Ô comme la fille est charmante,
Si belle et pleine de charmes !
Dis moi, toi vaillant marin,
Toi qui vis sur ton bateau,
Si la barque, si la voile,
Si les étoiles sont aussi belles !
Dis moi, toi fier cavalier,
Toi qui vas en blanche armure,
Si ta monture, si tes armes,
Si la bataille sont aussi belles !
Dis moi, petit berger,
Toi qui fais paître ton troupeau,
Si les brebis, si les vallées
Si les montagnes sont aussi belles !
