French (Français) translations of Vier zweistimmige Lieder für Sopran und Alt mit Pianoforte, opus 7

by Franz von Holstein (1826 - 1878)

1. Nacht  [sung text not yet checked]
by Franz von Holstein (1826 - 1878), "Nacht", op. 7 (Vier zweistimmige Lieder für Sopran und Alt mit Pianoforte) no. 3 [ vocal duet for soprano and alto with piano ], Braunschweig: H. Litolff
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Überm Lande die Sterne
Machen die Runde bei Nacht,
Mein Schatz ist in der Ferne,
Liegt am Feuer auf der Wacht.

Übers Feld bellen Hunde;
Wenn der Mondschein erblich,
Rauscht der Wald auf im Grunde:
Reiter, jetzt hüte dich!

When first published in 1828, the poem "Nacht" was one stanza long (usually referred to as Nacht Teil 1); in 1837, Eichendorff added Teil 2, which encompassed stanza 2; in 1839, Eichendorff added Teil 3, which encompassed stanzas 3 and 4; and in 1841 he added Teil 4, encompassing stanzas 5 and 6, and thus giving the poem its final form.


by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
1.
Language: French (Français) 
Au-dessus du pays les étoiles
Font la ronde dans la nuit,
Mon trésor est au loin,
Il monte la garde couché près du feu.

Les chiens aboient sur les champs ;
Quand le clair de lune s'estompe,
Un bruissement monte du fond de la forêt :
Cavalier, maintenant garde-toi !
