Aus der Ferne in der Nacht

(Sung text for setting by M. Reger)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT FRE

Wenn im braunen Hafen
Alle Schiffe schlafen,
Wach' ich auf zu dir.
Stille in der Runde,
Heilig diese Stunde,
Denn sie bringt dich, atemhaltend, mir.
 
Stehst in Mondenhelle
Wartend an der Schwelle,
Und ich fühle dich;
Komm, daß ich dich halte,
Deine Seele walte
Über meinen Träumen seliglich.

Au loin dans la nuit

(Sung text translation for setting by M. Reger)

See original

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

Quand dans le sombre port
Tous les bateaux dorment,
Je m'éveille à toi.
Tout est calme à la ronde,
Cette heure est sacrée
Car retenant ton souffle, elle t'amène à moi.

Tu te tiens dans le clair de lune
Attendant sur le seuil,
Et je te sens ;
Viens, que je te tienne,
Que ton âme règne
Maternellement sur mes rêves.
