Hin und wieder [fliegen]1 Pfeile;
Amors leichte Pfeile fliegen
Von dem schlanken goldnen Bogen;
Mädchen, seyd ihr nicht getroffen?
Es ist Glück! Es ist nur Glück.
Warum fliegt er so in Eile?
Jene dort will er besiegen;
Schon ist er vorbei geflogen;
Sorglos bleibt der Busen offen;
Gebet Acht! Er kommt zurück!

Des flèches volent de temps en temps
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Des flèches volent de temps en temps ;
Cupidon tire de légères flèches
Avec son frêle arc d'or,
Jeunes filles, vous n'êtes pas atteintes ?
C'est une chance ! Ce n'est que de la chance.
Pourquoi vole‑t‑il si rapidement ?
Celle-ci là-bas, il va en triompher ;
Il est déjà passé près d'elle ;
Insouciante, elle reste la poitrine découverte ;
Priez dieu ! Il revient !
