from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation

Schein uns, du liebe Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Schein uns, du liebe Sonne
gib uns ein hellen Schein
Schein uns zwei Lieb zusammen,
die gern beinander sein!

Dort fern auf jenem Berge 
leit sich ein kalter Schnee.
Der Schnee kann nicht zerschmelzen, 
denn Gotts Will muß ergehn.

Gotts Will der ist ergangen,
zerschmolzen ist der Schnee,
Gott gesegn euch, Vater und Mutter,
ich seh euch nimmermehr.
