Über die Welt hin ziehen die Wolken
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Über die Welt hin ziehen die Wolken.
Grün durch die Wälder
fliesst ihr Licht.
Herz, vergiss!
In stiller Sonne
webt linderndster Zauber,
unter wehenden Blumen blüht tausend Trost.
[Vergiss! Vergiss!]1
Aus fernem Grund pfeift, horch, ein Vogel ...
Er singt sein Lied.
Das Lied vom Glück!
Vom Glück.

Les nuages passent au‑dessus du monde
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Les nuages passent au-dessus du monde.
Leur lumière verte coule
à-travers la forêt.
Oublie, mon cœur !
Dans le calme soleil
se tisse un sortilège des plus lénifiant,
sous des fleurs flottantes fleurissent mille consolations.
Oublie ! oublie !
D'un fond lointain, écoute, un oiseau siffle . . .
Il chante sa chanson.
La chanson du bonheur !
Du bonheur.
