Wo des Ölwalds Schatten dämmern,
Rast' ich, matt vom Sonnenschein;
Fern am Berg bei ihren Lämmern
Lagern Hirten und schalmein.

Müd' eintönig schwimmt die Weise
Durch den Mittagsduft heran,
Und mir träumt, es sei das leise
Flötenspiel des großen Pan.

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

Chosen for Diff

Là où s'étendent les ombres de l'oliveraie,
Je me repose, épuisé par le soleil ;
Au loin, sur la montagne, près de leurs agneaux,
Se reposent les bergers et leurs pipeaux.

La mélodie, monotone et lasse,
Flotte dans l'air embaumé de midi,
Et je rêve que c'est le doux
Son de la flûte du grand Pan.
