The first time I met Ariane was at one 
of the parties for the upper nobility.
أوّل مرّة التقيتُ فيها بآرياني كانت
في إحدى الحفلات للطبقة النّبيلة الرّاقية
Ich traf Ariane zum ersten Mal
auf einer Party des gehobenen Adels.
Conocí a Ariane en una de las fiestas
de la alta aristocracia.

J’ai fait la rencontre d’Ariane
Il mio primo incontro con Ariane 
risale a un ricevimento per nobili d'alto rango.
A primeira vez que vi a Ariane foi durante
uma festa entre a nobreza mais alta.
Впервые я увидела Арианэ
на одном из светских балов.
