Sommer

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Singe, meine liebe Seele,
denn der Sommer lacht,
Alle Farben sind voll Feuer,
alle Welt ist eine Scheuer,
alle Frucht ist aufgewacht.

Singe, meine liebe Seele,
denn das Glück ist da.
Zwischen Ähren, welch ein Schreiten!
Flimmernd tanzen alle Weiten,
Gott singt selbst Hallelujah.

Add this translation to the Basket

Chante, ma chère âme,
car le soleil rit.
Toutes les couleurs sont de feu,
le monde entier est une grange,
tout fruit s'éveille.

Chante ma chère âme
car le bonheur est là.
Entre les épis, quelle marche !
Le lointain danse en vibrant,
Dieu lui-même chante alleluia.
