Da war des Wohl behagens

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT FRE

Da war des Wohl behagens
Und jeder Freude viel,
Und wo man sah und hörte,
War Sang und Tanz und Spiel.
Denn Alle, Alle freuten
Des frohen Tages sich,
Und Alle, Alle sangen:
Heil unserm Freiderich!
Und Gott im Himmel oben
Erhörte ihr Gebet.
Sein Segen folgt dem Knaben,
Da wo er geht und steht.

Alors il y eut un sentiment de bien‑être

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

Alors il y eut un sentiment de bien-être
et beaucoup de joie,
Et où qu'on regarde ou écoute
Ce n'était que chants et danses et jeux.
Car tous, tous se réjouirent
De ce jour heureux,
Et tous, tous chantèrent :
Vive notre Friedrich !
Et Dieu en haut dans le ciel
Entendit leur prière.
Sa bénédiction suit l'enfant
Où qu'il aille.
