(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

Sanftes Klavier!
Welche Entzückungen schaffest du mir,
Sanftes Klavier!
Wenn sich die Schönen
Tändelnd verwöhnen,
Weih' ich mich dir,
Liebes Klavier!

Bin ich allein,
Hauch ich dir meine Empfindungen ein,
Himmlisch und rein.
Unschuld und Spiele,
Tugendgefühle
Sprechen aus dir,
Trautes Klavier!

 ... 

Sing' ich dazu, 
Goldener Flügel! welch himmlische Ruh
Lispelst mir du!
Thränen der Freude
Netzen die Saite;
Silberner Klang
Trägt den Gesang.

 ... 

Sanftes Klavier!
Welche Entzückungen schaffest du mir,
Goldnes Klavier!
Wenn mich im Leben
Sorgen umschweben,
Töne du mir,
Trautes Klavier!

À mon piano

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Doux piano,
Quels délices tu m'apportes,
Doux piano !
Quand les belles
Se gâtent en flirtant,
Je me consacre à toi,
Cher piano !

Si je suis seul,
Je chuchote mes pensées à toi,
Célestes et pures.
Innocence dans le jeu,
Sentiment de vertu
Parlent par ta voix,
Piano chéri !

 ... 


















Doux clavier,
Quels délices tu m'apportes,
Piano doré !
Quand dans la vie
Des soucis m'entourent,
Chante pour moi,
Piano chéri !

 ...
