Morgengesang

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Fern im Ost beginnt die Sonne 
ihren Welterleuchtungsgang.
Lechensang und Erntewonne 
sprossen ihrer Spur entlang,
Brechet den Schlummer und säumet euch nicht 
die ihr begnadigt zu wandeln im Licht!
Sorge und Not die das Herz euch beschwert
wird von dem Strahle des Frührots verzehrt.
Brechet den Schlummer und säumet euch nicht!

Chant du matin

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

Loin à l'est, le soleil commence
son chemin d'illumination du monde.
Le chant de l'alouette et la joie de la récolte
le suivent le long de son chemin,
Éveillez-vous et ne tardez pas
vous qui avez reçu la bénédiction de marcher dans la lumière !
Les soucis et la détresse qui pèsent sur votre cœur
seront consumés par les rayons de l'aube.
Éveillez-vous et ne tardez pas!
