Joie

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: GER

Un oiselet sautille et chante,
Joie aimable et charmante!
C'est comme un paradis
Se joue aux taillis
Tout fraîchement fleuris (la! la!),
De notre for't verdoyante!
Un ruisselet descend et chante,
Joie aimable et charmante!
Les travailleurs sont gais,
Car les champs et les prés
Sont aussi bien parés (la! la!)
Que notre forêt verdoyante!
La jeune fille danse et chante,
Joie aimable et charmante!
L'air est plein de chansons,
Le ciel est pur, allons,
Donnons la main, dansons (la! la!)
Dans notre forêt verdoyante!

Freude

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)

Ein Vögelchen hüpft und singt,
Reizende und bezaubernde Freude!
Es scheint wie im Paradies,
Wo man im Gebüsch spielen kann,
Und alles frisch erblüht ist.
Aus unserem immergrünen Wald
Entfließt ein Bächlein und singt,
Reizende und bezaubernde Freude!
Die Arbeiter sind fröhlich,
Weil die Felder und Wiesen
So schön geschmückt sind
Wie unser immergrüner Wald!
Das junge Mädchen tanzt und singt,
Reizende und bezaubernde Freude!
Die Luft ist gefüllt mit Gesängen,
Der Himmel ist klar, lass uns gehen
Die Hand geben, tanzen,
In unserem immergrünen Wald!
