Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Der Schäfer mit den Schafen
Zieht durch die stillen Gassen ein,
Die Häuser wollen schlafen
Und dämmern schon und nicken ein.

Ich bin in diesen Mauern
Der einz'ge fremde Mann zur Stund,
Es trinkt mein Herz mit Trauern
Den Kelch der Sehnsucht bis zum Grund.

Wohin der Weg mich führet,
Hat überall ein Herd gebrannt;
Nur ich hab nie verspüret,
Was Heimat ist und Vaterland.

Le soir au village

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Wallnöfer)

See original

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

Le berger avec ses moutons
Pénètre dans la ruelle silencieuse,
Les maisons veulent dormir
Et déjà somnolent et s'assoupissent.

Entre ces murs je suis
À cette heure le seul étranger,
Avec tristesse mon cœur boit jusqu'à la lie
Le calice de la nostalgie.

Où que m'ait mené mon chemin,
Un foyer a toujours brûlé ;
Je n'ai simplement jamais ressenti
Ce qu'est la patrie et la terre de mes ancêtres.
