O laß mich nur von ferne stehn
Language: German (Deutsch)
O laß mich nur von ferne stehn Und [hangen]1 stumm an deinem Blick; Du bist so jung, du bist so schön, Aus deinen Augen lacht das Glück. [Und]2 ich so arm, so müde schon, Ich habe nichts, [was]3 dich gewinnt. O, wär' ich doch ein Königssohn Und du ein arm', [verlor'nes]4 Kind!

L'amour mendiant
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Ô laisse-moi seulement rester au loin Et en silence m'accrocher à ton regard ; Tu es si jeune, tu es si belle, Dans tes yeux rit le bonheur. Et moi si pauvre, déjà si fatigué, Je n'ai rien pour te conquérir. Ô si seulement j'étais fils de roi Et toi une pauvre enfant perdue !
