Paisible vallée
 (Sung text translation for setting by J. Lang)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Quand aux derniers rayons du soir
Des montagnes de nuages d'or s'élèvent
Et se révèlent comme des alpes,
En larmes, souvent je me demande : 
« Est-ce bien entre eux que se trouve
La paisible vallée à laquelle j'aspire ? »
