Im Walde

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE HEB ITA NOR POR POR SPA

Es zog eine Hochzeit den Berg entlang,
Ich hörte die Vögel schlagen,
Da blitzten viel Reiter, das Waldhorn klang,
Das war ein lustiges Jagen!

Und eh' ich's gedacht, war alles verhallt,
Die Nacht bedecket die Runde,
Nur von den Bergen rauschet der Wald
Und mich schauert im Herzensgrunde.

En forêt

NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view

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

Le long de la montagne passait une noce,
J'entendais s'ébattre les oiseaux,
Soudain étincelèrent de nombreux cavaliers, le cor sonna,
C'était une joyeuse chasse !

Et avant de le réaliser, tout se perdit au loin,
La nuit recouvrit l'assemblée,
Seul venait de la montagne le murmure de la forêt,
Qui frissonnait en moi jusqu'au plus profond du cœur.
