O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort
Language: German (Deutsch)
O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort,
O Schwert, das durch die Seele bohrt,
O Anfang sonder Ende.
O Ewigkeit, Zeit ohne Zeit,
Ich weiß vor großer Traurigkeit
Nicht, wo ich mich hinwende.
Mein ganz erschrock'nes Herze bebt,
Dass mir die Zung am Gaumen klebt.

Ô éternité, mot plein de tonnerre
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Ô éternité, mot plein de tonnerre,
Ô épée qui transperce l'âme,
Ô début sans fin.
Ô éternité, temps sans temps.
Devant une grande tristesse
Je ne sais pas vers où me tourner.
Mon cœur complètement terrifié tremble
Et ma langue est collée à mon palais.
