Language: French (Français)

Ma main a frappé les portes closes
Et d’autres mains au loin ont répondu.

Ich habe geklopft…

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

Meine Hand hat an verschlossene Türen geklopft
Und andere Hände haben von fern geantwortet. 
Meine Stirn hat verschlossene Türen gepocht
Und andere Stirnen in der Ferne haben geantwortet. 
Mein Herz hat an verschlossene Türen geklopft 
Aber allein das Echo meines Herzens hat geantwortet.
