Der Mond ist aufgegangen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Der Mond ist aufgegangen und überstrahlt die Wellen; ich halte mein Liebchen umfangen, und unsre Herzen schwellen. Im Arm des holden Kindes ruh' ich allein am Strand; was horchst du beim Rauschen des Windes? Was zuckt deine weiße Hand? "Das ist kein Rauschen des Windes, das ist der Seejungfern Sang, und meine Schwestern sind es, die einst das Meer verschlang!"

La lune égrène en perles blondes
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
La lune égrène en perles blondes Son collier pâle sous les ondes. Ma bien-aimée est dans mes bras, Et nous parlons tous deux tous bas. Ma bien-aimée écoute et songe Et dans la nuit son regard plonge. Est-ce le vent qui fait soudain Trembler ainsi ta blanche main ? "Non, ce n'est pas le vent," dit-elle, "Ce n'est pas le vent qui m'appelle ! Mais ces voix qui montent dns l'air Ce sont les vierges de la mer, Mes sœurs depuis longtemps parties ; Par l'Océan sombre englouties !"
