Ach, was wird uns hier bereitet?
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Ach, was wird uns hier bereitet?
Bett und Lager unter Bäumen
Grünes Dunkel, trocknes Laub
wenig Sonne, feuchter Duft
Ach was wird uns hier bereitet
Wohin treibt uns das Verlangen
Dies erwirken? dies verlieren?
Sinnlos trinken wir die Asche
und ersticken unsern Vater
Wohin treibt uns das Verlangen

Ah, que nous prépare‑t‑on ?
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Ah, que nous prépare-t-on ?
Un lit et une couche sous les arbres,
obscurité verte, feuilles sèches,
peu de soleil, air humide.
Ah, que nous prépare-t-on ?
Où nous porte le désir ?
Obtenir ceci ? perdre cela ?
Stupidement nous buvons des cendres
et étouffons notre père.
Où nous porte le désir ?
