Allegro
Language: German (Deutsch)
Gewölk zerreißt; vom glühenden Himmel her
Irrt taumelndes Licht über geblendete Täler.
Mitgeweht vom föhnigen Sturm
Flieh ich mit unermüdetem Schritt
Durch ein bewölktes Leben.
Oh, daß nur immer für Augenblicke
Zwischen mir und dem ewigen Licht
Gütig ein Sturm die grauen Nebel verweht!
Fremdes Land umgibt mich,
Losgerissen treibt von der Heimat fern
Mich des Schicksals mächtige Woge umher.
Jage die Wolken, Föhn,
Reiße die Schleier hinweg,
Daß mir Licht auf die zweifelnden Pfade falle!

Allegro
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Nuages déchiquetés ; issue d'un ciel brûlant,
Une lumière chancelante erre sur des vallées éblouies.
Poussé par un violent foehn
Je fuis d'un pas infatigable
Dans une vie couverte de nuages.
Ô puisse pour un instant seulement
Qu'entre moi et la lumière éternelle
Une bienveillante tempête chasse les nuées grises !
Je suis au milieu d'un pays étranger,
Arraché loin de ma patrie, je suis poussé
Ici par la puissante vague du destin.
Foehn, chasse les nuages,
Déchire le voile
Afin que la lumière tombe sur mes chemins hésitants !
