Laternen spiegeln durch die Nacht Im nassen Straßenpflaster -- In dieser späten Stunde wacht Nur noch die Not und das Laster. Ich grüße euch, die ihr wachet, Euch, die ihr liegt in Not und Leid, Euch, die ihr lärmet und lachet Und die ihr alle meine Brüder seid.

Dans la nuit des lanternes se reflètent Sur le pavé mouillé des rues. En ces heures tardives ne veillent encore Que la détresse et le vice. Je vous salue, vous qui veillez, Vous qui êtes dans la détresse et la peine, Vous qui faites du bruit et riez, Et qui tous êtes mes frères.
