Die Bekehrte
Language: German (Deutsch)
Bei dem Glanz der Abendröthe Ging ich still den Wald entlang, Damon saß und blies die Flöte, Daß es von den Felsen klang, So la la! . . . Und er zog mich [zu]1 sich nieder, Küßte mich so [hold, so]2 süß. Und ich sagte: blase wieder! Und der gute Junge blies, So la la! . . . Meine [Ruh]3 ist nun verloren, Meine Freude floh davon, Und ich [hör']4 vor meinen Ohren Immer nur den alten Ton, So la la, le ralla! . . .

Convertie
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Dans les lueurs rouges du couchant [J'allai]1 silencieusement le long de la forêt, Damon s'assit et joua de la flûte, [Qui résonna dans les rochers]2, So la la ! . . . Et il m'attira à lui, M'embrassa [délicatement et doucement]3. Et je lui dit : joue encore ! Et le gentil garçon joua, So la la ! . . . J'ai maintenant perdu le repos, Ma joie s'en est allée, Et mes oreilles entendent Toujours [l'ancienne]4 mélodie, So la la ! . . .
