Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Teurer Freund, du bist verliebt,
Und dich quälen neue Schmerzen;

Heller wird es dir im Herzen.

Teurer Freund, du bist verliebt,
Und du willst es nicht bekennen,
Und ich seh des Herzens Glut
Schon durch deine Weste brennen.

Cher ami, tu es amoureux

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Cher ami, tu es amoureux,
Et de nouvelles peines te tourmentent
Ta tête s'assombrit
Et ton coeur s'éclaircit.

Cher ami, tu es amoureux,
Et tu ne veux pas le reconnaître,
Et je vois les braises de ton coeur
Déjà brûler à travers ton gilet.
