Wenn ein müder Leib begraben
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Wenn ein müder Leib begraben,
Klingen Glocken ihn zur Ruh,
Und die Erde schließt die Wunde
Mit den schönsten Blumen zu.
Wenn die Liebe wird begraben,
Singen Lieder sie zur Ruh,
Und die Wunde bringt die Blumen --
Doch das Grab erst schließt sie zu.

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Quand un corps fatigué est enterré,
Le cloches sonnent pour son repos,
Et la terre ferme la blessure
Avec les fleurs les plus belles !
Quand l'amour est enterré,
Des chants chantent pour son repos,
Et la blessure apporte des fleurs,
Mais seule la tombe la fermera !
