Schnell, verblühen

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Schnell, verblühen im Wechsel der Stunden
Blumen, die uns die Freude gewunden,
und es schlüpfet, kaum gefunden,
aus den Händen uns das Glück!

Doch auch das Dunkel, vom Schicksal gegeben,
muß im Wechsel der Stunden verschweben.
Nimmer rastend eilt das Leben;
was dahin, kehrt nie zurück!

O so laßt an dem goldenen Saume
fest uns fassen die glückliche Nähe,
und uns freuen, so lang sie verweilt,
o so lange sie verweilt, ja so lange sie verweilt!

Vite, fanées

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

Vite, fanées dans la course des heures
Les fleurs qui nous tressent la joie,
Et on nous enlève, à peine trouvé,
Des mains le bonheur !

Mais même les ténèbres, données par le destin,
Doivent dans la course des heures disparaître.
Jamais la vie ne se hâte sur place ;
Vas-y, ne reviens jamais !

Oh, ainsi que vers la lisière dorée
Le voisinage heureux nous prenne fermement
Et nous réjouisse, aussi longtemps qu'il reste,
Aussi longtemps qu'il reste, oui, aussi longtemps qu'il reste !
