Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA

Schon zerfließt das ferne Gebirg mit Wolken
In ein Meer; den Wogen entsteigt der Mond, er
Grüßt die Flur, entgegen ihm grüßt das schönste
Lied Philomelens.

Aus dem Blütenstrauche, der um das Plätzchen
Zarter Liebe heimlichend sich verschlinget:
Mirzi horcht am Busen des Jünglings ihrem 
Zaubergeflöte.

Dort am Hügel weiden die Schafe beider 
Traulichen Gemenges in einer Herde,
Ihre Glöcklein stimmen so lieblich ein zu 
Frohen Akkorden.

Image vespérale

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

Déjà les montagnes, avec les nuages, se dissolvent
Dans une mer; des vagues s'élève la lune, elle
Salue la campagne, et devant elle salue la plus belle
Chanson de Philomèle,

Sortant du buisson de fleurs, qui s'enchevêtre
Autour de l'endroit secret des tendres amours:
Mirzi écoute sur le sein de l'adolescent sa
Flûte enchantée.

Là-bas sur la colline leurs moutons paissent,
Intimement mélangés en un troupeau,
Leurs clochettes sonnent doucement
En de joyeux accords.
