Der Greis
Language: German (Deutsch)
Hin ist alle meine Kraft!
Alt und schwach bin ich;
Wenig nur erquicket mich
Scherz und Rebensaft!
Hin ist alle meine Zier!
Meiner Wangen Roth
Ist hinweggeflohn! Der Tod
Klopft an meine Thür!
Unerschreckt mach' ich ihm auf;
Himmel, habe Dank:
Ein harmonischer Gesang
War mein Lebenslauf!

Le vieillard
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Toute ma force est partie !
Je suis vieux et faible ;
Peu de choses peuvent me rafraîchir,
Les plaisanteries et le jus de la vigne !
Toute ma force est partie !
Le rouge de mes joues
S'est envolé ! La mort
Frappe à ma porte !
Sans peur je la laisse entrer ;
Ciel, sois remercié :
Un chant harmonieux
Était le cours de ma vie !
