Es drängt die Not, es läuten die Glocken,
Und ach! ich hab den Kopf verloren!
Der Frühling und zwei schöne Augen,
Sie haben sich wider mein Herz verschworen.

Der Frühling und zwei schöne Augen
Verlocken mein Herz in neue Betörung!
Ich glaube, die Rosen und Nachtigallen
Sind tief verwickelt in dieser Verschwörung.

Il y a grande urgence, les cloches sonnent

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

Il y a grande urgence, les cloches sonnent,
Et, hélas ! J'ai perdu la tête !
Le printemps et deux beaux yeux
Se sont ligués contre mon cœur.

Le printemps et deux beaux yeux
Séduisent mon cœur à nouveau envoûté !
Je crois les roses et les rossignols
Très impliqués dans cette conspiration.
