Mit Regen und Sturmgebrause Sei mir willkommen, Dezembermond, Und führ mich den Weg zum traulichen Hause, Wo meine geliebte Herrin wohnt. Nie hab' ich die Blüte des Maien, Den blauenden Himmel, den blitzenden Tau So fröhlich gegrüßt wie heute dein Schneien, Dein Nebelgebräu und Wolkengrau. Denn durch das Flockengetriebe, Schöner, als je der Lenz gelacht, Leuchtet und blüht der Frühling der Liebe Mir heimlich nun in der Winternacht.

Avec la pluie et les rugissements de la tempête, Soit la bienvenue, lune de décembre, Et conduis-moi sur le chemin de la douillette maison Où habite ma chère maîtresse. Je n'ai jamais salué les fleurs de mai, Le ciel d'azur, l'éclatante rosée Aussi gaiement qu'aujourd'hui ta neige, Tes brouillards emmêlés et tes nuages gris; Car à travers les myriades de flocons, Plus beau que tous les printemps riants Brille et fleurit en moi le printemps de l'amour, Secrètement, maintenant, dans la nuit de l'hiver.
