Treibe, treibe, Schifflein schnelle
Durch die leicht bewegte Fluth;
Wiege, wiege, süße Welle,
In der Sterne goldner Gluth;
Töne, Liedlein, durch die Nacht,
Wo die Liebe harrt und wacht.
Liebe, Liebe steht am Strande,
Neckend eilte sie voraus,
Breitet sehnsuchtsvoll vom Lande
Ihre treuen Arme aus.
Töne, Liedlein, durch die Nacht,
Wo die Liebe harrt und wacht.

Barcarolle
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Vogue, vogue, petit bateau, vite
À travers le flot qui bouge légèrement,
Balance, balance, gentille vague,
Dans l'éclat doré des étoiles !
Résonne, petite chanson, à travers la nuit,
Où l'amour attend et veille.
L'amour, l'amour se tient sur la rive,
Malicieusement, elle bondit,
Étendant pleine de désirs de la terre
Ses bras fidèles.
Résonne, petite chanson, à travers la nuit,
Où l'amour attend et veille.
