Briefchen schrieb und warf in den Wind ich,
Sie fielen ins Meer, und sie fielen auf Sand.
Ketten von Schnee und von Eise, die bind' ich,
Die Sonne zerschmilzt sie in meiner Hand.
Maria, Maria, du sollst es dir merken:
Am Ende gewinnt, wer dauert im Streit,
Maria, Maria, das sollst du bedenken:
Es siegt, wer dauert in Ewigkeit.

J'ai écrit des petites lettres
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
J'ai écrit des petites lettres et je les ai jetées au vent,
Elles sont tombées dans la mer, et elles sont tombées sur le sable.
Dans les chaînes de la neige et de la glace, je les ai attachées,
Le soleil les fait fondre dans ma main.
Maria, Maria, tu dois le noter :
Celui qui persiste dans la lutte gagne à la fin.
Maria, Maria, tu dois le comprendre :
Celui qui persiste dans l'éternité l'emporte.
