Ziehn die Schafe von der Wiese
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ziehn die Schafe von der Wiese,
Liegt sie da, ein reines Grün,
Aber bald zum Paradiese
Wird sie bunt geblümt erblühn.

Hoffnung breitet lichte Schleier
Nebelhaft vor unsern Blick:
Wunscherfüllung, Sonnenfeier,
Wolkenteilung bring uns Glück.

Quand les brebis ont quitté la prairie
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Quand les brebis ont quitté la prairie,
Elle est là, d'un vert pur,
Mais bientôt en un paradis
Elle s'épanouira en fleurs multicolores.

L'espoir déploie des voiles légers
Comme une brume devant notre regard :
Accomplissement des vœux, fête du soleil,
Nuages qui se dispersent nous apportent le bonheur !
