Trost

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT FRE

Es ist kein Weh auf Erden,
So heiß, so [laut und]¹ wild,
Die Sühne soll ihm werden,
Sei still, so wird's gestillt.

Und ist kein Tod vorhanden,
Was Liebes du begräbst,
Gleich ist's dir auferstanden,
Wie du nur treu ihm lebst.

Auch giebt's kein wirklich Scheiden,
Der Trennung öden Schmerz,
Du brauchst ihn nie zu leiden,
Bleib nah' nur Herz an Herz.

In ihres Mantels Falten
Trägt Gottes Lieb' die Welt,
Wer sich von ihr läßt halten,
Den sie gar treulich hält.

Foi

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

Il n'y a pas de peine sur terre
Aussi brûlante, aussi forte, aussi sauvage,
Qui ne soit transformée en expiation.
Sois calme, et elle sera calmée !

Et il n'y a pas de mort présente ;
L'amour que tu as enterré,
Est ressuscité aussitôt
Que tu lui restes fidèle.

En outre il n'y a pas de réelle séparation,
La douleur désolée de la séparation,
Tu n'as pas à la souffrir,
Restez seulement proche cœur contre cœur !

Dans les plis de son manteau,
L'amour de Dieu porte le monde,
Celui qui cède à l'amour de Dieu
Sera fidèlement récompensé.
