Von allen Bergen nieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Von allen Bergen nieder
So fröhlich Grüßen schallt -
Das ist der Frühling wieder,
Der ruft zum grünen Wald!

Ein Liedchen ist erklungen
Herauf zum stillen Schloß -
Dein Liebster hat's gesungen
Der hebt Dich auf sein Roß.

Wir reiten so geschwinde,
Von allen Menschen weit. -
Da rauscht die Luft so linde
In Waldeseinsamkeit.

Wohin? Im Mondenschimmer
So bleich der Wald schon steht. -
Leis rauscht die Nacht - frag' nimmer,
Wo Lieb' zu Ende geht!

Le fiancé
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Descendant de toutes les montagnes
De joyeux saluts résonnent --
Le printemps est revenu
Qui appelle vers la forêt !

Une chansonnette a retenti
La-haut, vers le château silencieux --
C'est ton amoureux qui l'a chantée,
Qui te porte sur son cheval.

Nous galopons bien vite
Loin de tous le monde,
Là où le zéphyr bruit si doucement,
Dans la solitude de la forêt.

Où ? Dans le clair de lune
La forêt est déjà si pâle.
La nuit bruit faiblement -- ne demande pas
Où l'amour arrive à son terme !
