Mohnblumen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE FRE JPN
Mohnblumen sind die runden,
rotblutigen gesunden,
die sommersproßgebraunten,
die immer froh gelaunten,
kreuzbraven, kreuzfidelen,
tanznimmermüden Seelen;
die unter'm Lachen weinen
und nur geboren scheinen,
die Kornblumen zu necken,
und dennoch oft verstecken
die weichsten, besten Herzen,
im Schlinggewächs von Scherzen;
die man, weiß Gott, mit Küssen
ersticken würde müssen,
wär' man nicht immer bange,
umarmest du die Range,
sie springt ein voller Brander
aufflammend auseinander.

ケシの花
Language: Japanese (日本語)  after the German (Deutsch) 
ケシの花はふっくらとして 
血色が良く、健康で 
陽に焼けてそばかすがあり 
いつも陽気で機嫌が良くて 
礼儀正しく、底抜けに明るく 
いつまでも踊り疲れない心の持ち主 
笑いの下に涙を隠し 
ヤグルマギクの花をからかうために 
生まれてきたかのように見えるけど 
時々冗談の嵐の中に 
柔らかく、最上の心を
隠している 
ああ、彼女達に窒息するほど 
キスをしたくなるだろう 
もしいつも恐れずいるのならば 
君がそのおてんば娘を抱きしめると 
彼女は炎のように燃え上がり 
弾け飛ぶ事を!
