An die Mädchen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Ihr besonders dauret mich,
Arme Mädchen, inniglich,
Daß ihr just in Zeiten fielet,
Wo man wenig tanzt und spielet.

Eine Mädchenjugend ist
Abgeblüht in kurzer Frist;
Müsset ihr nun Blüte tragen
In so rauhen, trüben Tagen!

Ja! mir dünket oft so sehr
Eure Jugend freudenleer,
Daß euch keine Zuflucht bliebe
Als die wahre, fromme Liebe.

Aux jeunes filles

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

Cela me fait surtout de la peine,
Pauvres jeunes filles, profondément,
Que vous soyez tombées juste en un temps
Où l'on danse et joue si peu.

La jeunesse d'une jeune fille
Se fane en un temps bien court
Et vous devez maintenant fleurir
En des jours si rudes et si troubles !

Oui ! Je suis souvent très chagriné
Par votre jeunesse sans joie
Et qu'il ne vous reste d'autre futur
Qu'un amour vrai et dévot.
