Nun wird es wieder lenz

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Nun wird es wieder lenz . .
Du weihst den weg die luft
Und uns auf die du schaust --
So stammle dir mein dank.

Eh blöd der menschen sinn
Ihm ansann wort und tat
Hat schon des schöpfers hauch
Jed ding im raum beseelt.

Wenn solch ein auge glüht
Gedeiht der trockne stamm ·
Die starre erde pocht
Neu durch ein heilig herz.

Maintenant ce sera à nouveau le...

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

Maintenant ce sera à nouveau le printemps...
Tu bénis le chemin, l'air
Et nous sur qui tu jettes les yeux --
Donc que mes remerciements te soient balbutiés.

Avant que l'esprit de l'humanité stupide
Ne lui ait attribué parole et action,
Le souffle du Créateur a déjà
Animé chaque être du monde.

Quand un tel œil brille
L'arbre desséché prospère.
La terre dure bat
À nouveau avec un cœur saint.
