Das ist ein lied
Für dich allein:
Von kindischem wähnen
Von frommen tränen...
Durch morgengärten klingt es
Ein leichtbeschwingtes.
Nur dir allein
Möcht es ein lied
Das rühre sein.

C'est un chant

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Wellesz)

See original

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

C'est un chant
pour toi seule :
d'illusions enfantines ,
de larmes pieuses...
À travers les jardins du matin il résonne
avec des ailes légères.
Seulement pour toi
il voudrait être un chant
qui émeut.
