Mittag

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT FRE

Zwischen Mohn und Rittersporn
hab' ich träumend heut' gelegen.
Wogend strich das reife Korn,
Mittagsglut auf allen Wegen.

Nur ein weißes Wölkchen zog
durch die glanzdurchflirrten Räume,
und mein weites Sehnen flog
leuchtend durch das Blau der Träume.

Midi

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

Entre coquelicots et pieds d'alouette
J'étais couché rêvant aujourd'hui.
Le blé mûr ondoyant flottait
Dans la chaleur de midi sur tous les chemins.

Seul un petit nuage blanc allait
À travers l'espace chatoyant.
Et mon grand désir volait
Brillant à travers le bleu des rêves.
