So oft die Sonne aufersteht, Erneuet sich mein Hoffen Und bleibet, bis sie untergeht, Wie eine Blume offen; Dann schlummert es ermattet Im dunklen Schatten ein, Doch eilig wacht es wieder auf Mit ihrem ersten Schein. Das ist die Kraft, die nimmer stirbt Und immer wieder streitet, Das gute Blut, das nie verdirbt, Geheimnisvoll verbreitet! So lang' noch Morgenwinde Voran der Sonne weh'n, Wird nie der Freiheit Fechterschar In Nacht und Schlaf vergeh'n!

Aussi souvent que le soleil se lève Mon espérance se renouvelle Et jusqu'à ce qu'il se couche, reste Ouverte comme une fleur ; Puis elle s'endort épuisée Dans les ombres obscures, Mais elle se réveille vite, Dès ses premières lueurs. C'est la force qui jamais ne meurt Et toujours se remet au combat, Le bon sang qui jamais ne se corrompt, Et secrètement se répand ! Aussi longtemps que les brises du matin Souffleront encore avant le lever du soleil, Jamais la légion des combattants de la liberté Ne disparaîtra dans la nuit et le sommeil !
