Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Wem Gott will rechte Gunst erweisen,
Den schickt er in die weite Welt,
Dem will er seine Wunder weisen
In Berg und Wald und Strom und Feld.

 ... 

Die Bächlein von den Bergen springen,
Die Lerchen schwirren hoch vor Lust,
Was sollt' ich nicht mit ihnen singen
Aus voller Kehl' und frischer Brust?

Den lieben Gott laß ich nur walten;
Der Bächlein, Lerchen, Wald und Feld,
Und Erd' und Himmel will erhalten,
Hat auch mein Sach' aufs Best' bestellt.

Le joyeux voyageur

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

See original

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

Quand Dieu veut manifester sa faveur,
Il t'envoie dans le vaste monde,
Celui à qui il veut montrer ses merveilles,
Vers montagnes, forêts, fleuves et champs.

 ... 

Les ruisseaux dévalent de la montagne,
Les alouettes turlutent haut leur plaisir
Pourquoi ne chanterais-je pas avec elles,
À gorge déployée et plein poumon.

Je laisse juste faire le bon Dieu ;
Il préservera la terre et le ciel,
Le ruisseau, l'alouette, le vent et les champs,
Et s'occupera aussi au mieux de mes affaires.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3-4 of the original text.
