Salamander
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Es saß ein Salamander
Auf einem kühlen Stein,
da warf ein böses Mädchen
Ins Feuer ihn hinein.
Sie meint', er soll verbrennen,
Ihm ward erst wohl zu Mut,
wohl wie mir kühlem Teufel
Die heiße Liebe tut.

La salamandre
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Une salamandre était assise
Sur une pierre froide,
Quand une méchante fille
La jeta dans le feu.
Elle pensait qu'elle brûlerait,
Mais cela l'a mis de bonne humeur,
Comme pour moi, un diable froid,
Fait un amour chaud.
