Leise flehen meine Lieder
Durch die Nacht zu Dir;
In den stillen Hain hernieder,
Liebchen, komm' zu mir!

Flüsternd schlanke Wipfel rauschen
In des Mondes Licht;
Des Verräthers feindlich Lauschen
Fürchte, Holde, nicht.

Hörst die Nachtigallen schlagen?
Ach! sie flehen Dich,
Mit der Töne süßen Klagen
Flehen sie für mich.

Sie verstehn des Busens Sehnen,
Kennen Liebesschmerz,
Rühren mit den Silbertönen
Jedes weiche Herz.

Laß auch Dir die Brust bewegen,
Liebchen, höre mich!
Bebend harr' ich Dir entgegen;
Komm', beglücke mich!

세레나데
Language: Korean (한국어/조선말)  after the German (Deutsch) 
나지막이 노래하네
그대 창밖에.
조용한 저 숲속으로
그대여 오라!

나뭇잎도 속삭이네
달빛 아래서.
누가 몰래 엿들을까
두려워 마오.

들리는가, 저 새 소리?
아, 애원하네.
달콤한 그 목소리로
나를 대신해.

알고 있네, 이 그리움
사랑의 아픔
다정하게 위로하네.
여린 마음을.

가슴 깊은 감동으로
그대, 들으라!
맘 졸이며 기다리리!
나에게 오라!
