Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Kampfmüd' und sonn'verbrannt,
Fern an der Heiden Strand,
Waldgrünes Thüringland,
Denk' ich an dich.
Mildklarer Sternenschein,
Du sollst mir Bote sein,
Geh, grüß' die Heimat mein,
Weit überm Meer!

Feinden von allerwärts,
Trotzt meiner Waffen Erz;
Wider der Sehnsucht Schmerz
Schirmt mich kein Schild.
Doch wie das Herz auch klagt,
Ausharr' ich unverzagt:
Wer Gottes Fahrt gewagt,
Trägt still sein Kreuz.

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Rheinberger)

See original

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

Fatigué de la bataille et brûlé par le soleil,
Loin, sur la rive des païens,
Dans la Thuringe aux forêts vertes,
Je pense à toi.
Lumière d'étoile douce et claire,
Tu seras ma messagère,
Va, salue ma patrie,
Loin au delà de la mer !

Les ennemis, de tous côtés,
Défient mes armes en bronze ;
Contre la douleur de la nostalgie
Aucun bouclier ne me protège.
Pourtant quand mon cœur se plaint
Je patiente bravement.
Celui qui se risque sur la voie de Dieu
Porte en silence sa croix.
