Schön ist's, wenn zwei Sterne
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Schön ist's, wenn zwei Sterne
Nah sich stehn am Firmament,
Schön, wenn zweier Rosen
Röte ineinander brennt.
Doch in Wahrheit! immer
Ist's am schönsten anzusehn:
Wie zwei, so sich lieben,
Selig beieinander stehn.

Il est beau de voir deux étoiles
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Il est beau de voir deux étoiles
L'une à côté de l'autre dans le firmament,
Beau quand le rouge de deux roses
S'embrase quand elles fusionnent.
Pourtant, jamais rien en vérité
N'est plus beau que de voir
Combien deux amoureux
Sont bienheureux l'un près de l'autre.
