Sommertage

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT CAT ENG FRE ITA POR

Nun ziehen Tage über die Welt,
Gesandt aus blauer Ewigkeit,
Im Sommerwind verweht die Zeit.
Nun windet nächtens der Herr
Sternenkränze mit seliger Hand
Über Wander- und Wunderland.
O Herz, was kann in diesen Tagen
Dein hellstes Wanderlied denn sagen
Von deiner tiefen, tiefen Lust:
Im Wiesensang verstummt die Brust,
Nun schweigt das Wort, wo Bild um Bild
Zu dir zieht und dich ganz erfüllt.

Jours d'été

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

Maintenant les jours sillonnent le monde,
Envoyés depuis le bleu éternel ;
Dans le vent d'été le temps se dissipe,
Maintenant la nuit le Seigneur tresse
De sa main bénie des couronnes d'étoiles
Au-dessus d'une terre de voyageurs et de merveilles.
Ô mon cœur, que peut en ces jours
Dire ton chant si brillant de voyageur
De ton plaisir profond, profond ?
Dans le chant des prés le cœur se tait,
Maintenant il n'y a pas de mot, et et des images, l'une après l'autre,
Te visitent et te remplissent complètement.
