Auferstehung

(Sung text for setting by G. Mahler)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

  Auferstehn, ja, auferstehn wirst du, 
Mein Staub, nach kurzer Ruh!
Unsterblichs Leben 
Wird, der dich schuf, dir geben! 
Halleluja! 
 
  Wieder aufzublühn werd ich gesät!
Der Herr der Erndte geht 
Und sammelt Garben, 
Uns ein, uns ein, die starben!
Halleluja! 
 
  Tag des Danks! der Freudenthränen Tag! 
Du, meines Gottes Tag! 
Wenn ich im Grabe 
Genung geschlummert habe, 
Erweckst du mich!
 
  Wie den Träumenden wirds dann uns seyn! 
Mit Jesu gehn wir ein 
Zu seinen Freuden! 
Der müden Pilger Leiden 
Sind dann nicht mehr! 
 
  Ach, ins Allerheiligste führt mich 
Mein Mittler dann; lebt' ich 
Im Heiligthume, 
Zu seines Namens Ruhme.
Halleluja!

Referenced in Matthisson's An Laura, als sie Klopstocks Auferstehungslied sang.

Résurrection

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Mahler)

See original

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

Lève-toi, oui, tu te lèveras à nouveau,
Ma poussière, après un court repos !
La vie éternelle,
Celui qui t'a appelée va te la donner.
Halleluja ! 

Tu es semée pour fleurir à nouveau.
Le seigneur de la récolte marche 
à grands pas
Et rassemble les gerbes.
Halleluja !
