Bei dir ist es traut
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Bei dir ist es traut,
zage Uhren schlagen
wie aus alten Tagen,
komm mir ein Liebes sagen,
aber nur nicht laut!
Ein Tor geht irgendwo
draußen im Blütentreiben,
der Abend horcht an den Scheiben,
laß uns leise bleiben,
keiner weiß uns so!

Avec toi c'est bon
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Avec toi c'est bon,
les heures timides sonnent
comme autrefois,
viens et dis-moi un mot d'amour,
mais pas trop fort !
On entend un portail
venant du monde en fleurs,
le soir écoute aux fenêtres,
gardons le silence,
que personne ne sache où nous sommes.
