by Alcman (flourished 7th century BCE)
Translation © by Holger Christian Teipel-Jahr

Εὕδουσι δ' ὀρέων κορυφαί τε καὶ φάραγγες
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Our translations:  GER
Εὕδουσι δ' ὀρέων κορυφαί τε καὶ φάραγγες
πρώονές τε καὶ χαράδραι
φῦλά τ' ἑρπέτ' ὅσα τρέφει μέλαινα γαῖα
θῆρές τ' ὀρεσκώιοι καὶ γένος μελισσᾶν
καὶ κνώδαλ' ἐν βένθεσσι πορφυρέας ἁλός·
εὕδουσι δ' οἰωνῶν φῦλα τανυπτερύγων.

Es schlafen der Berge Gipfel und...
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Es schlafen der Berge Gipfel und Abgründe,
Vorgebirge und Klüfte,
Arten der Landtiere, so viele die dunkle Erde nährt,
in den Bergen wohnende Tiere, das Volk der Bienen
und Ungetüme in den Tiefen des dunkelwogenden Meeres:
Es schlafen die Arten der breitgeflügelten Raubvögel.
