Ich liebe solche weiße Glieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ich liebe solche weiße Glieder,
Der zarten Seele schlanke Hülle,
Wildgroße Augen und die Stirne
Umwogt von schwarzer Lockenfülle!

Du bist so recht die rechte Sorte,
Die ich gesucht in allen Landen;
Auch meinen Wert hat euresgleichen
So recht zu würdigen verstanden.

Du hast an mir den Mann gefunden,
Wie du ihn brauchst. Du wirst mich reichlich
Beglücken mit Gefühl und Küssen,
Und dann verraten, wie gebräuchlich.

J'aime ces membres d'une telle blancheur
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
J'aime ces membres d'une telle blancheur
La svelte enveloppe d'une âme délicate,
Ces grands yeux sauvages et ce front
Où ondule cette profusion de boucles noires !

Tu es vraiment la véritable espèce
Que j'ai cherchée dans tous les pays ;
Celles qui sont pareilles à toi
Ont aussi bien apprécié mes mérites.

Tu as trouvé en moi l'homme
Qu'il te faut. Tu me combleras
De bonheur avec sentiments et baisers,
Et puis tu me trahiras, comme il est d'usage.
