Gehn täglich viel Leute am Hause vorbei,
Der liebste von Allen, der ist nicht dabei!
Wie sollt er denn kommen, der Himmel ist weit
Und führt keine Straße herab in die Zeit.

Tous les jours bien des gens passent...

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

Tous les jours bien des gens passent devant ma maison,
Le plus aimé d'entre tous n'est pas parmi eux !
Comment pourrait-il donc venir, le ciel est loin
Et aucune route ne conduit ici bas dans le temps.
