Was gilt die Scheidewand

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Was gilt die Scheidewand
Von Hoch und von Geringe?
Was kümmert mich dein Stand,
Wenn ich mein Herz dir bringe?
Was kümmert mich dein Stand,
Wenn ich von Liebe, Liebe,
Von meiner Liebe singe?

Noch ist dein Bild mir neu.
Und soll dich schon vermissen?
Du blickst besorgt und scheu,
So vornehm mich zu wissen;
Du blickst besorgt und scheu,
Mir wird von Liebe, Liebe,
Von Liebe das Herz zerrissen!

Que vaut la barrière

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

Que vaut la barrière
Entre les grands et les petits ?
Pourquoi me soucier de ta position
Quand je t'apporte mon cœur ?
Pourquoi me soucier de ta position
Quand c'est l'amour, l'amour,
Mon amour que je chante ?

Ton image m'est encore nouvelle.
Et je devrais déjà te regretter ?
Tu sembles inquiet et farouche,
Alors fais-moi savoir :
Tu sembles inquiet et farouche,
Mon cœur d'amour, d'amour,
D'amour sera-t-il déchiré !
