Das Kind im Walde

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Ein Knäblein hatte verlaufen sich,
Und irrt in dem Wald umher,
Es schreiet und weinet bitterlich.
Es hungert und frieret sehr.

Durch dunkle Tannen brauset der Wind,
Dumpf krachen Zweige und Ast.
Wie läuft so eilig das zitternde Kind,
Die Angst läßt ihm nicht Rast.

L'enfant dans la forêt

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Straesser)

See original

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

Un petit garçon s'était sauvé ;
Il erre dans la forêt alentour,
Il crie et pleure amèrement,
Il a faim et très froid.

Le vent gronde dans les sombres sapins,
Rameaux et branches craquent sourdement.
Comme l'enfant tremble et court vite !
Il ne peut se permettre aucun répit.
