Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE ITA

Mir ist so wohl, so weh
Am stillen Erlafsee.
Heilig Schweigen
In Fichtenzweigen.
Regungslos
Der blaue Schooß;
Nur der Wolken Schatten flieh'n
Überm dunklen Spiegel hin.

 ... 

Frische Winde
Kräuseln linde
Das Gewässer;
Und der Sonne
Güldne Krone
Flimmert blässer.

Le lac Erlaf

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Je suis si heureux, si triste
Au bord du lac Erlaf ;
Le saint silence
Dans les branches de l'épicéa,
Sans mouvement
Les profondeurs bleus,
Avec seulement l'ombre des nuages planant
Au-dessus du miroir lisse,
