Warum betrübst du dich, mein Herz

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Warum betrübst du dich, mein Herz?
Bekümmerst dich und trägest Schmerz
Nur um das zeitliche Gut?
Ach, ich bin arm,
Mich drücken schwere Sorgen.
Vom Abend bis zum Morgen
Währt meine liebe Not.
Dass Gott erbarm!
Wer wird mich noch erlösen
Vom Leibe dieser bösen
Und argen Welt?
Wie elend ist's um mich bestellt!
Ach! wär ich doch nur tot!
Vertrau du deinem Herren Gott,
Der alle Ding erschaffen hat.

Pourquoi te troubles‑tu mon cœur ?

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

Pourquoi te troubles-tu mon cœur ?
Te tourmentes-tu et subis-tu de la douleur
Seulement pour des biens périssables ?
Hélas, je suis pauvre,
De lourds soucis m'oppressent.
Du matin au soir
Ma chère misère dure.
Puisse Dieu avoir pitié !
Mais qui me secouera
Du corps de ce diabolique
Et cruel monde ?
Comme c'est misérable autour de moi !
Ah, si seulement j'étais mort!
Crois en ton Seigneur Dieu,
Qui a tout créé
