Lied eines Kindes
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Lauter Freude fühl' ich,
Lauter Liebe hör' ich,
Ich so überglücklich
Fröhlich spielend Kind.
Dort der gute Vater,
Hier die liebe Mutter,
Rundherum wir Kinder
Froh und fröhlich sind.
Note: the music for the final line was supplied by Reinhard van Hoorickx because Schubert's fragment breaks off after a repetition of the preceding line (stanza 2, line 3).

Chant d'un enfant
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Je sens seulement la joie
J'entends seulement l'amour,
Je suis si comblé de bonheur,
Je suis un enfant qui joue joyeusement.
Là-bas il y a mon bon père,
Ici ma chère mère,
Tout autour nous les enfants
Sommes joyeux et pleins d'entrain.
