Der getreue Eckart
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
In der finstern Mitternacht
Steht der Ritter auf der Wacht,
Schauet hin nach jeder Seit,
Droht mit seinem Schwerte weit.
Wer auch anzukommen wagt,
Dieses eine sei gesagt:
Dieser Berg ist nicht geheuer,
Drinnen brennt das Höllenfeuer.
Was für süße Töne auch,
Was euch winken schöne Fraun:
Eure Seele muß verderben,
Muß dem Himmel hier absterben.

Le fidèle Eckart
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Dans l'obscurité de minuit
Un chevalier monte la garde,
De tous les côté, il exhibe
Son épée avec menace.
Celui qui ose approcher,
S'entend dire :
Cette montagne n'est pas sûre,
Il y brûle le feu le l'enfer.
Peu importent les douces mélodies,
Peu importe le salut des jolies femmes :
Vos âmes seront ici en perdition,
Et perdues pour le ciel.
