Friede
Language: German (Deutsch)
Jeder hat's gehabt,
Keiner hat's geschätzt,
Jeden hat der süsse Quell gelabt,
O wie klingt der Name Friede jetzt!
Klingt so fern und zag,
Klingt so tränenschwer,
Keiner weiß und kennt den Tag,
Jeder sehnt ihn voll Verlangen her.
Sei willkommen einst,
Erste Friedensnacht,
Milder Stern, wenn endlich du erscheinst
Überm Feuerdampf der letzten Schlacht.
Dir entgegen blickt
Jede Nacht mein Traum,
Ungeduldig rege Hoffnung pflückt
Ahnend schon die goldne Frucht vom Baum.
Sei willkommen einst,
Wenn aus Blut und Not
Du am Erdenhimmel uns erscheinst,
Einer andern Zukunft Morgenrot!

Paix
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Chacun l'a eue.
Personne ne l'a appréciée.
Chacun s'est désaltéré à la douce source.
Oh comme vibre maintenant le nom de la paix !
Il vibre, lointain et timide,
Il vibre lourd de larmes.
Personne ne sait ni ne connaît le jour,
Chacun le désire empli d'attente.
Sois un jour la bienvenue.
Première nuit de paix.
Douce étoile, quand enfin tu apparaîtras
Sur la fumée du feu de la dernière bataille.
Chaque nuit mon rêve
Porte son regard vers toi,
Un espoir intense et impatient entrevoit déjà
La cueillette sur l'arbre du fruit d'or.
Sois un jour la bienvenue.
Quand du sang et de la détresse
Tu nous apparaîtras dans le ciel de la terre,
Aurore d'un autre futur.
