Meine Mutter hat's gewollt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Meine Mutter hat's gewollt, Den andern ich nehmen sollt; Was ich zuvor besessen, Mein Herz sollt es vergessen; Das hat es nicht gewollt. Meine Mutter klag ich an, Sie hat nicht wohlgetan; Was sonst in Ehren stünde, Nun ist es worden Sünde. Was fang ich an? Für all mein' Stolz und Freud Gewonnen hab ich Leid. Ach, wär das nicht geschehen, Ach, könnt ich betteln gehen Über die braune Heid!

Ma mère l'a voulu
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Ma mère l'a voulu, Que je prenne l'autre ; Ce que j'avais possédé, Mon cœur doit l'oublier ; Il ne l'a pas voulu. J'accuse ma mère, Elle n'a pas bien agi ; Ce qui naguère était honorable Est devenu aujourd'hui péché. Que vais-je entreprendre ? En échange de toute ma fierté et ma joie J'ai récolté la douleur. Ah, je voudrais que ce ne fut point arrivé, Ah, si je pouvais aller mendier Sur la lande brune !
