Schwirrend Tamburin, dich schwing ich
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)
Schwirrend Tamburin, dich schwing ich, Doch mein Herz ist weit von hier. Tamburin, ach könntst du's wissen, Wie mein Herz von Schmerz zerrissen, Deine Klänge würden müssen Weinen um mein Leid mit mir. Weil das Herz mir will zerspringen, Laß ich hell die Schellen klingen, Die Gedanken zu versingen Aus des Herzens Grunde mir. Schöne [Herren]1, tief im Herzen Fühl ich immer neu die Schmerzen, Wie ein Angstruf ist mein Scherzen, Denn mein Herz ist weit von hier.

Het meisje met de tamboerijn
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Snelle tamboerijn, jou schud ik, Maar mijn hart is ver van hier. Tamboerijn, als jij bespeurde Hoe verdriet mijn hart verscheurde, Dan behuilden en betreurden Mij jouw klanken als een dier. Daar mijn hart wel stuk wil springen, Laat ik luid de bellen ting' len, Om gedachten weg te zingen Uit mijn hart, zijn diepste kier. Knappe heren, diep van binnen Voel ik pijn steeds weer beginnen, Scherts moet angstkreet overwinnen, Want mijn hart is ver van hier.
