Der Liebe Meer versiegte nicht, es...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Der Liebe Meer versiegte nicht, es schwoll,
Sich selber speisend, hoch um unsre Wege.
Erst netzt es unsre Füße Schaumes voll,
Dann hub es sich bis an des Herzens Schläge.
Einst kommt der Tag, in seines Schwellens Drang
Reißt es vom Gipfel uns, dem kaum errungnen,
Und überflutet höchsten Glückes Gang,
Und rauscht Gesänge über uns Verschlungnen.

La mer de l'amour ne se tarissait pas,...
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
La mer de l'amour ne se tarissait pas, elle enflait,
Se nourrissant d'elle même, haute sur nos chemins,
D'abord arrosa nos pieds couverts d'écume,
Puis elle monta jusqu'aux battements du cœur.
Un jour viendra où dans son besoin de grandir
Elles nous arrachera du sommet à peine conquis,
Et inondera le cours du plus grand bonheur
Et soufflera ses chants sur nous engloutis.
