Die Nacht mit ihrem Frieden

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Die Nacht mit ihrem Frieden
Bedeckt die weite See,
Der Mond ist aufgegangen
Und wandelt durch die Höh.
 
Die Welt ist lauter Stille,
Nur mein Gedanke wacht
Und wandelt durch die Ferne
Zu dir in dunkler Nacht.

La nuit avec sa paix

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

La nuit avec sa paix
Recouvre la vaste mer,
La lune s'est levée
Et voyage en haut.

Le monde est d'un silence pur,
Seules mes pensées sont éveillées
Et errent au loin
Vers toi dans la nuit noire.
