Wie so bleich ich geworden bin?
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie so bleich ich geworden bin? Was willst du fragen? Freue, freue [dich]1 immerhin, Ich will nicht klagen. Hast das Haus und die Felder auch, Und hast den Garten, Laß mich unterm Hollunderstrauch Den Platz erwarten. Tief das Plätzchen und lang und breit Nur wen'ge Schuhe, Leg ich dort mich zu guter Zeit Und halte Ruhe.

Pourquoi je suis devenue si pâle ?
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Pourquoi je suis devenue si pâle ? Que veux-tu dire ? En tout cas, réjouis-toi, réjouis-toi, Je ne me plaindrai pas. Tu as la maison, et aussi les champs, Et tu as le jardin, Laisse moi espérer la place Sous le sureau. L'endroit est profond et étroit et long Il n'est qu'à quelques pas, Je m''y allongerai au bon moment Et j'y serai tranquille.
