J'ai laissé de mon sein de neige
Language: French (Français)
J'ai laissé de mon sein de neige Tomber un œillet rouge à l'eau, Hélas ! comment le reprendrai-je, Mouillé par l'onde du ruisseau ? Voilà le courant qui l'entraîne ! Bel œillet aux vives couleurs, Pourquoi tomber dans la fontaine ? Pour t'arroser j'avais mes pleurs !

Dívčí popěvek
Language: Czech (Čeština) after the French (Français)
Mně s ňader bílých jako sníh pad’ karafiát v náruč vln; jak octne se zas v rukou mých, vždy bude, běda, vody pln! Proč, kvítku, do vody jsi pad’? Jak unáší tě proudů zlost! Vždyť svlažiti tě, než bys vad’, mám věru vlastních slzí dost.
