Mondaufgang

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Schatten liegt auf allen Wegen,
Tief verschleiert kommt der Mond;
Sieh, da strömt ihm voll entgegen,
Was geheim im Herzen wohnt.
Und wie er des Meeres Wellen
Aus dem Schoß hebt, wo sie ruhten,
Macht er meine Tränen schwellen
Und ihr Bette überfluten.

Lever de lune

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

L'ombre s'étend sur tous les chemins,
La lune arrive, enveloppée d'épais voiles ;
Vois, tout ce qui habite secrètement le cœur
Coule à sa rencontre.
Et tandis qu'elle s'élève au-dessus des vagues
Qui reposaient au sein la mer,
Elle fait monter mes larmes
Et inonder leur lit.
