Namensfeier für Franz Michael...

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Erhabner! Erhabner!
Verehrter Freund der Jugend!
Zu deines Festes Feyer
Deiner Weisheit, deiner Tugend
Nimm unsrer Herzen Huldigung.

Ja, wenn der Waisen Bitten frommen,
Die heut' für dich zum Himmel glühn,
Muß oft der frohe Tag noch kommen,
Lang deines Lebens Freuden blühn.

Germanien, in fernen Zonen
Nennen Waisen Vater dich,
Dein Haupt umglänzen Bürgerkronen,
Und gute Fürsten lieben dich.

Ein Hochgefühl und reine Freude
Hält immer uns mit dir vereint,
Ein lorbeerreicher Nestor scheide
Einst spät von uns und allbeweint.

Celebration of the name day of Franz Michael Vierthalter

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Your eminence! Your eminence!
Respected friend of youth!
On your festive celebration of
Your wisdom, your virtue,
Accept the homage of our hearts.

Yes, if the orphans' petition is granted
(The prayers that are burning their way to heaven for you today)
There will have to be many happy returns of this day,
Long may the joys of your life blossom.

German speaking people in distant regions
Call you the Father of Orphans.
Your head is wreathed with civil crowns
And good princes love you.

May a noble feeling and pure joy
Keep us united with you always.
May this Nestor, rich in laurels, leave
Us as late as possible, universally lamented.
