Sei nicht traurig, bald ist es Nacht, Da sehn wir über dem bleichen Land Den kühlen Mond, wie er heimlich lacht Und ruhen Hand in Hand. Sei nicht traurig, bald kommt die Zeit, Da haben wir Ruh. Unsre Kreuzlein stehen Am hellen Straßenrande zu zweit, Und es regnet und schneit, Und die Winde kommen und gehen.

Ne sois pas triste, il fera bientôt nuit, Alors nous verrons sur la terre pâle La froide lune sourire à la dérobée, Et nous nous reposerons main dans la main. Ne sois pas triste, l'heure viendra bientôt, Alors nous aurons le repos. Nos petites croix debout, Face à face au bord de la route claire, Et il pleuvra et il neigera, Et les vents se lèveront et se calmeront.

Im Grase hingestreckt Lausch ich der Halme zartem Wald, Der flüstert wirr und hat mir bald Den Himmel fast verdeckt. Es kommt die Zeit heran, Da weiß ich nichts von Leide mehr Und schmerzt es heute noch so sehr, Alsdann ist es vertan. Dann kreist mein heißes Blut Gekühlt und licht in Halm und Klee, Und dieser Stunde grimmes Weh Ist still, ist kühl, ist gut.

Allongé dans l'herbe J'observe la délicate forêt de tiges Qui chuchote confusément Et m'a presque complètement caché le ciel. Il vient le temps Où je ne connaîtrai plus rien des chagrins Qui encore aujourd'hui font si mal Et qui seront alors oubliés. Alors mon sang bouillonnant circulera, Refroidi, parmi les tiges et le trèfle Et à cet instant le terrible mal Sera calmé, refroidi, bon.

Die Nacht ist mir so nah bekannt, Wir können unsre Gedanken lesen, Wir haben dasselbe Vaterland, Wir sind vorzeiten Geschwister gewesen. Und abermal um eine Zeit Da wird sie mich so ganz umfangen! Sie nickt, sie streichelt meine Wangen Und fragt: bist du bereit?

La nuit et moi sommes si proches, Que nous pourrions lire nos pensées, Le pays de nos pères est le même, Nous sommes frère et sœur depuis très longtemps. Et encore une fois viendra l'heure Où elle m'enlacera complètement ! Elle fait signe, me caresse les joues Et demande : « es-tu prêt ? ».

Es wird dir sonderbar erscheinen, Daß ich zuweilen wie ein Knabe Nicht schlafen kann vor lautem Weinen Und bitterlich das Heimweh habe, Und daß ich tagelang in Träumen Hinschlendre mit geheimem Leid An fremden, stillen Gartensäumen, Gedenkend meiner Kinderzeit ...

Il te semblera étrange Que parfois comme un enfant Je ne puis dormir à cause de grosses larmes Et d'un amer mal du pays, Et durant des jours, en rêve, Je déambule avec un mal secret À la lisère de calmes jardins étrangers Pensant aux jours de ma jeunesse …

Bläue über dir und Sonnenglut, Unter dir die ewig stille Flut, Auf dem schlanken, leichtbewegten Kiel Trägst du Saitenklang und Liebesspiel. Schwarz und ernst sind deine leichten Wände. Süß, solang das frohe Heute loht, Süß und seltsam ist der Traum vom Tod, Von der Jugend und der Liebe Ende. Meine jungen Jahre gleiten Unbekannten Zielen zu Durch beglänzte schöne Weiten, Schlanke Gondel, rasch und leicht wie du.

Au-dessus de toi, du bleu et l'ardeur du soleil, En-dessous de toi le flot éternel et calme, Sur ton étroite quille au déplacement léger Tu portes le son des cordes et le jeu de l'amour. Tes parois légères sont noires et sérieuses. Doux, tant que le gai aujourd'hui flamboie, Doux et étrange est le rêve de mort, De la fin de la jeunesse et de l'amour. Mes jeunes années glissent Vers un but inconnu, Par de beaux lointains resplendissants, Vite et légèrement, comme toi, étroite gondole.

Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast, Im Graben liegt noch Schnee; Das du mir heut' geschrieben hast, Das Brieflein tat mir weh. Jetzt schneid' ich einen Stab im Holz; Ich weiß ein ander Land, Da sind die Jungfern nicht so stolz Dem Lieben abgewandt. Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast, Kein Brieflein tut mir weh, Und das du mir geschrieben hast, Schwimmt draußen auf dem See, Schwimmt draußen auf dem Bodensee, Ja draußen auf dem See.

Le daphné fleurit dans la forêt, La neige [recouvre]1 le [fossé]2 ; Ce que tu m'as écrit aujourd'hui, La petite lettre, m'a fait mal. Je me taille maintenant un bâton de bois ; Je connais un autre pays où les filles ne sont pas si fières pour décliner l'amour. Le daphné fleurit dans la forêt, Aucune petite lettre ne me fait mal, Et celle que tu m'as écrite Flotte au large, sur le lac, Flotte au large sur le lac de Constance, Oui, au large, sur le lac.
