Du Quell hast einen süßen Mund
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du Quell hast einen süßen Mund, Hab' dich im Stillen oft belauscht, Wenn mit der wilden Rose du Die leisen Wörtchen eingetauscht! Hat sie nur einmal dich gehört, Neigt sie sich hin und grüßet dich. Nichtwahr? Hab' ich einmal ein Lieb, O lehr' die Wörtchen dann auch mich!

Trio (Soprano, Contralto, Ténor): O ruisseau
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
O ruisseau, ta voix est câline Et je t'ai supris plus d'un jour Echangeant avec l'églantine Secrètement des mots d'amour Dès que tu parlais, d'elle même Sa branche s'inclinait vers toi, N'est-ce pas? Si jamais on m'aime, Tes mots d'amour, apprends-les moi.
