Komm bald

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Warum denn warten von Tag zu Tag?
Es blüht im Garten, was blühen mag.
Wer kommt und zählt es, was blüht so schön?
An Augen fehlt es, es anzuseh'n.

Die meinen wandern vom Strauch zum Baum;
mir scheint, auch andern wär's wie ein Traum.
Und von den Lieben, die mir getreu
und mir geblieben, wär'st du dabei!

Viens vite

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

Pourquoi alors attendre, jour après jour ?
Le jardin fleurit quand il peut fleurir.
Qui vient compter ce qui va fleurir si joliment ?
Aucun œil n'est là pour le voir.

les miens vont des buissons aux arbres ;
Il me semble que d'autres penseraient que c'est un rêve.
Et ces amoureux, qui me sont fidèles
Et m'aiment, si tu étais avec eux !
