Ah! fuyez à présent
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG ENG GER GER
Ah! fuyez à présent,
Malheureuses pensées!
O! colère, o! remords!
Souvenirs qui m'avez
Les deux tempes pressées,
De l'étreinte des morts.
Sentiers de mousse pleins,
Vaporeuses fontaines,
Grottes profondes, voix
Des oiseaux et du vent
Lumières incertaines
Des sauvages sous-bois,
Insectes animaux,
Beauté future,
Ne me repousse pas,
Ô divine nature
Je suis ton suppliant.
Ah! fuyez à présent,
Malheureuses pensées!
O! colère, o! remords!

Ernstes Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Ah! Hinweg jetzt,
ihr traurigen Gedanken!
OH! Wut, Oh! Reue!
Erinnerungen die mir
Kopfschmerzen bereitet haben,
in der erdrückenden Umklammerung der Toten.
Wege voller Moos,
schaumige Fontänen,
tiefe Grotten, die Stimmen
der Vögel und des Windes.
unheimliches Zwielicht
im ungezämten Unterholz,
Insekten, Tiere,
zukünftige Schönheit,
stoße mich nicht zurück,
Oh göttliche Natur.
Ich bete dich an.
Ah! Hinweg jetzt,
ihr traurigen Gedanken!
OH! Wut, Oh! Reue!
