Abendgang im Lenz

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT FRE

Selig durch die Fluren gehn,
Wenn der Tag verglüht.
Leuchtend in des Abends Schein
Weiß der Birnbaum blüht.

Hoch in Wipfeln feierlich
Süß die Drossel singt.
Wie der ganze Frühlingstraum,
Ach, im Liede klingt.

Il est merveilleux de marcher à travers...

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

Il est merveilleux de marcher à travers les champs
Quand le jour se consume en brûlant.
Brillant dans l'éclat du soir
Le poirier fleurit tout blanc.

En haut dans les cimes solennelle
Et douce la grive chante.
Comme tout le rêve de printemps,
Ah, résonne dans le chant.
