Wahre, wahre deinen Sohn,
Nachbarin, vor Wehe,
weil ich ihn mit schwarzem Aug'
zu bezaubern gehe.
O wie brennt das Auge mir,
das zu Zünden fordert!
Flammet ihm die Seele nicht --
deine Hütte lodert.

Protège, protège ton fils
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
Protège, protège ton fils,
Du malheur, voisine,
Car avec mes yeux noirs,
Je vais l'ensorceler.
Ô, comme mes yeux brûlent
Et veulent l'allumer !
Si son âme ne s'enflamme,
Ta chaumière s'embrase.
