Hoch in der Frühe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Sieh, wie wir zu den Sternen aufsteigen!
Unsern glückstrahlenden Augen
leuchtet der Schnee der Gebirge,
bald blitzt dort unten die Sonne durch.
O! schon röten sich
Tiefen und Höhen;
durch den Rauch unsrer Atemzüge,
bis über das fernste Fünkchen dort oben
fern hinauf
schimmert die Nacht deiner Geburt,
glänzt der Tag unsrer Himmelfahrt.

Haut le matin

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

Vois comme nous montons vers les étoiles !
la neige des montagnes éclaire
nos yeux rayonnant de bonheur,
bientôt là-bas le soleil va étinceler.
Ô ! déjà les vallées 
et les cimes rougissent :
à travers la buée de notre souffle,
jusque par-dessus la plus petite étincelle, 
loin là-haut,
Frissonne la nuit de ta naissance,
brille le jour de notre ascension.
