Warum doch erschallen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Warum doch erschallen
himmelwärts die Lieder?
Zögen gerne nieder
Sterne, die droben
Blinken und wallen,
Zögen sich Lunas
Lieblich Umarmen,
Zögen die warmen,
Wonnigen Tage
Seliger Götter
Gern uns herab!

Waarom toch weerklinken
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch)
Waarom toch weerklinken
Hemelwaarts de zangen?
Graag zouden zij vangen
Sterren die boven
Draaien en blinken,
Zoeken naar Luna's
Lieflijk omarmen,
Halen de warme,
Heerlijke dagen
Van de goden,
Graag voor ons neer.
