Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE GRE
Hin und wieder [fliegen]1 Pfeile;
Amors leichte Pfeile fliegen
Von dem schlanken goldnen Bogen;
Mädchen, seyd ihr nicht getroffen?
Es ist Glück! Es ist nur Glück.
Warum fliegt er so in Eile?
Jene dort will er besiegen;
Schon ist er vorbei geflogen;
Sorglos bleibt der Busen offen;
Gebet Acht! Er kommt zurück!

Pane ki erchontai ta belē
Pu me charē o erōs stelnei / Alaphra p’ o erōs stelnei
Me ligno chryso tu toxo.
Kores, den sas brēke stocho?
Etyche ki astochēse.
Giati pheygei me biasynē?
Thelei na nikēsei ekeinēn.
Prospernaei pheugaleos
Korpho xegnoiasta anoigmeno.
Prosochē! Tha xanarthei! / Prosexe ki epestrepse!
