Es bebten Berg und Täler von Gewittern

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Es bebten Berg und Täler von Gewittern,
Das Licht erlosch am Himmel in die Nacht.
Noch überläuft die fernen Hügel Zittern,
Doch löst sich linde schon der Stürme Schlacht.
Im frisch entwölkten Blau strahlt durchs Gewimmel
Der Sterne stolz ein Schwert mit Schneid and Knauf.
O Erde, rolle jauchzend durch die Himmel:
Das Sternbild unsrer Liebe ging dir auf!

Monts et vallées tremblent sous l'orage

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Monts et vallées tremblent sous l'orage
La lumière du ciel s'éteint dans la nuit.
Des tremblements parcourent encore les lointains coteaux,
Pourtant l'échauffourée de la tempête déjà se calme.
Dans l'azur frais, sans nuage, à travers le fourmillement des étoiles
Rayonne fièrement un glaive avec tranchant et pommeau.
Oh terre, roule avec allégresse dans le ciel, :
L'image étoilée de notre amour s'est élevée au-dessus de toi !
