Klarer Tag
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Himmel leuchtet aus dem Meer ;
Ich geh' und leuchte still wie er.
Und viele Menschen gehn wie ich,
Sie leuchten alle still für sich.
Zu weilen scheint nur Licht zu [gehn]1
Und durch die Stille [hinzuwehn]2.
Ein Lüftchen haucht den Strand entlang:
O wundervoller Müßiggang.

Jour clair
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Le ciel brille, sorti de la mer ;
Je marche, et je brille en silence, comme lui.
Et beaucoup de gens marchent, comme moi ;
Ils brillent tous en silence, chacun pour soi.
Parfois seule la lumière semble marcher
Et partir en flottant dans le silence.
Un soupçon d'air passe le long de la plage :
Ô merveilleuse oisiveté.
