Drüben überm Berge

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Drüben überm Berge, 
wo die späten Glocken gehn, 
weiß ich eine grosse Stadt 
und ein kleines Haus drin stehn. 
Drüben überm Berge und 
im Staub der großen Stadt 
weiß ich einen süßen Mund, 
der mein Herz vergiftet hat. 

Drüben überm Berge, 
wo das lichte Leben wohnt, 
liegt die Welt und liegt mein Glück 
blind und fern im bleichen Mond. 
Drüben überm Berge, 
wo die späten Glocken gehn, 
muß ich jede Nacht im Traum 
vor dem kleinen Hause stehn.

Par‑delà la montagne

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

Par-delà la montagne
Où sonnent les cloches du soir,
Je sais une grande ville
Où s'élève une petite maison.
Par-delà la montagne
Et dans la poussière de la grande ville,
Je sais une bouche suave
Qui a empoisonné mon cœur.

Par-delà la montagne
Où habite une lumineuse vie
Se trouve le monde et se trouve mon bonheur,
Aveugle et lointain sous la lune blême.
Par-delà la montagne
Où sonnent les cloches du soir,
Je dois en rêve, chaque nuit,
Me tenir devant la petite maison.
