Liebeshymnus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE JPN
Heil jenem Tag, der dich geboren,
heil ihm, da ich zuerst dich sah!
In deiner Augen Glanz verloren
steh' ich, ein sel'ger Träumer, da.

Mir scheint der Himmel aufzugehn,
den ich von ferne nur geahnt,
und eine Sonne darf ich sehn,
daran die Sehnsucht nur gemahnt.

Wie schön mein Bild in diesem Blicke!
In diesem Blick mein Glück wie groß!
Und flehend ruf' ich zum Geschicke:
O weile, weile, wandellos!

愛の讃歌
Language: Japanese (日本語)  after the German (Deutsch) 
君の生まれた日に祝福あれ 
君と初めて出会った日に祝福あれ! 
君の瞳の輝きの中で 僕は呆然と 
幸せな夢見心地でいる

ただ遠くから感じるだけだった天が 
開かれるかのようだ 
そして僕はただ憧れるだけだった太陽を 
見ることを許される

この眼差しに映る僕の姿のなんと美しい事か! 
この眼差しの中で僕の幸福はなんと大きい事か! 
そして僕は運命に懇願しながら叫ぶ 
ああとどまれ、変わることなく!
