Zu Halle auf dem Markt

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Zu Halle auf dem Markt,
Da stehn zwei große Löwen.
Ei, du hallischer Löwentrotz,
Wie hat man dich gezähmet!

Zu Halle auf dem Markt,
Da steht ein großer Riese.
Er hat ein Schwert und regt sich nicht,
Er ist vor Schreck versteinert.

Zu Halle auf dem Markt,
Da steht eine große Kirche.
Die Burschenschaft und die Landsmannschaft,
Die haben dort Platz zum Beten.

Près de la halle sur le marché

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

Près de la halle sur le marché,
Il y a deux grands lions.
Eh, toi, fier lion de la halle,
Vois comme on t'a domestiqué!

Près de la halle sur le marché,
Il y a un grand géant.
Il a une épée et ne bouge pas,
Il est pétrifié par la peur.

Près de la halle sur le marché,
Il y a une grande église.
Les étudiants et les paysans
Ont là une place pour prier.
