 ... 

Dein Lied erklang, es war kein Ton vergebens,
Der ganze Frühling, der von Liebe haucht,
Hat, als du sangest, nieder sich getaucht,
Im sehnsuchtsvollen Strome meines Lebens,
Im Sonnenuntergang,
Als mir dein Lied erklang!

Ton chant a retentit, je l'ai entendu

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Leibowitz)

See original

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

 ... 

Ton chant a retenti, ce n'était pas une vaine mélodie,
Le printemps tout entier, qui respire l'amour,
A plongé pendant que tu chantais
Dans le cours nostalgique de ma vie,
Au coucher du soleil,
Quand ton chant a retenti en moi !

Note: the text above is taken from stanza 3 of the original text.
