Regen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Geht ein grauer Mann
Durch den stillen Wald,
Singt ein graues Lied.
Die [Vöglein]1 schweigen alsbald.
Die Fichten ragen so stumm und schwül
Mit ihrem schweren Astgewühl.
In fernen Tiefen
Vergrollt ein Ton. --

Pluie
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Un homme gris avance
À travers la forêt silencieuse,
Il chante un chant gris.
Les petits oiseaux se taisent aussitôt.
Les sapins se dressent si silencieux et oppressants
Avec leurs foules de lourdes branches.
Dans les profondeurs
Lointaines retentit un son.
