Es freut sich Alles weit und breit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE
Es freut sich Alles weit und breit,
Ich darf nicht fröhlich sein:
Mein Frühling ist nur Gram und Leid,
O weh, o weh! ich bin allein.
[Leb wohl, leb wohl, mein einzig Glück!
Ach! kehrst du nie, ach! nie zurück?]1

Der Frühling treibt [ihn]2 wieder fort
In's weite Meer hinein;
Schon liegt das Schiff bemastet dort,
O weh, o weh! und wartet [sein]3!
[Leb wohl, leb wohl, mein einzig Glück!
Ach! kehrst du nie, ach! nie zurück?]1

Und als sie sprach in stillem Schmerz:
Wann kehrest du zurück?
Da [drückt' er weinend mich ans]4 Herz:
"Ade, ade! mein Lieb, mein Glück!"
[Leb wohl, leb wohl, mein einzig Glück!
Ach! kehrst du nie, ach! nie zurück?]1

La femme du marin
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Tout le monde à la ronde est heureux
Mais je ne peux être gaie :
Mon printemps n'est que chagrin et peines.
Ô malheur, ô malheur ! Je suis seule
Adieu, adieu, mon unique bonheur !
Hélas, reviendras-tu un jour ?

Le printemps le pousse toujours
Vers la vaste mer ;
Déjà ici, le bateau est mâté,
Hélas, hélas ! et l'attend !
Adieu, adieu, mon unique bonheur !
Hélas, reviendras-tu un jour ?

Et quand, dans sa douleur muette, elle dit :
« Quand reviens-tu ? »
Alors en pleurant il me serra sur son cœur :
« Adieu, adieu ! Mon amour, mon bonheur ! »
Adieu, adieu mon unique bonheur !
Hélas, reviendras-tu un jour ?
