Es flüstern und rauschen die Wogen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Es flüstern und rauschen die Wogen
Wohl über ihr stilles Haus.
Es ruft eine Stimme: "Gedenke mein!
Bei stiller Nacht im Vollmondschein!
Gedenke mein!"
Und flüsternd ziehen die Wogen
Wohl über ihr stilles Haus.
"Gedenke mein!"

Lorelei
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Les vagues murmurent et bruissent
Bien au-dessus de sa maison silencieuse.
Une voix appelle : "Souviens-toi de moi !
Aux nuits de silence, au clair de lune !
Souviens-toi de moi !"
Et en murmurant passent les vagues
Bien au-dessus de sa maison silencieuse.
« Souviens-toi de moi ! »
