Nun ich der Riesen Stärksten überwand,
Mich aus dem dunkelsten Land heimfand
an einer weißen Märchenhand -
Hallen schwer die Glocken.
Und ich wanke durch die Straßen
schlafbefangen.

Maintenant que j'ai vaincu le plus grand des géants

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

Maintenant que j'ai vaincu le plus grand des géants
et que j'ai trouvé mon chemin depuis la terre la plus sombre
guidé par une blanche main de fée
les cloches sonnent fort,
et je titube à travers les rues
perdu dans le sommeil.
