Le vent dans les rochers sifflait et...
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG GER
Le vent dans les rochers sifflait et mugissait ;
Le monde en frissonnant se reprenait à vivre,
Et la mer immortelle au soleil bondissait
Comme un jeune cheval que le grand air enivre.

Secouant sa crinière épaisse vers les cieux,
Elle semblait hennir et se cabrer de joie ;
Et dans la liberté roulaient les flots joyeux
Sous les baisers pourprés du matin qui flamboie.

Et mon cœur s'est levé par ce matin d'été ;
Car une belle enfant était sur le rivage,
[Dardant sur moi ses yeux inondés]1 de clarté,
[Et sur sa bouche errait un sourire sauvage]2.

Toi que transfiguraient la jeunesse et l'amour,
Tu m'apparus alors comme l'àme des choses ;
Mon cœur vola vers toi, tu le pris sans retour,
Et du ciel entr'ouvert pleuvaient sur nous des roses.

Mir wurde weit ums Herz an diesem...
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 

[...]



[...]


Mir wurde weit ums Herz an diesem Sommermorgen,
denn eine junge Schöne ging am Strand.
Sie schaute mich aus lichten Augen an 
und lächelte mir scheu und zärtlich zu.

Du, in der sich Jugend als auch Liebe zeigten,
erschienst mir dann wie aller Dinge Seele;
es flog mein Herz dir zu und blieb für immer dein,
und Rosen regnete es uns aus leicht verhangnem Himmel.
