Stiller Gang

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE IRI

Der Abend graut, Herbstfeuer brennen.
Über den Stoppeln geht der Rauch entzwei.
Kaum ist mein Weg noch zu erkennen.
Bald kommt die Nacht; ich muß mich trennen.
Ein Käfer surrt an meinem Ohr vorbei.
Vorbei.

Chemin silencieux

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

Le soir tombe, les feux de l'automne brûlent.
Au-dessus des chaumes deux traits de fumée s'élèvent.
C'est à peine si je peux distinguer mon chemin.
La nuit va venir ; je dois partir.
Une coccinelle bourdonne à côté de mon oreille.
À côté.
