Iphigenia
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Blüht denn hier an Tauris Strande
[Keine Blum' aus Hellas Lande,
Weht kein milder Segenshauch]1
Aus den [lieblichen]2 Gefilden,
Wo Geschwister mit mir spielten? -
Ach, mein Leben ist ein Rauch!

Trauernd wank' ich [durch die]3 Haine, -
Keine Hoffnung nähr' ich - keine,
Meine Heimath zu erseh'n; -
Und die See mit hohen Wellen,
Die an Klippen [kalt]4 zerschellen,
Übertäubt mein leises Fleh'n.

Göttin, [welche]5 mich gerettet,
An die Wildnis [mich gekettet]6, -
Rette mich zum zweitenmal; -
Gnädig lasse mich den Meinen,
Laß' o Göttinn! mich erscheinen
In des großen Königs Saal!

Iphigénie
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ici sur la côte de Tauride ne fleurit-il
Aucune fleur de la terre grecque ?
Est-ce qu'aucune douce brise ne souffle
Depuis ces champs bénis,
Où mes sœurs jouaient avec moi autrefois ?
Hélas, ma vie n'est qu'une fumée !

Plongée dans l'affliction je titube dans le bois -
Je ne nourris aucun espoir - aucun,
De revoir ma patrie,
Et la mer avec ses hautes vagues
Qui se brisent sur les écueils,
Assourdissent mes faibles supplications.

Ô déesse, qui m'a sauvée,
Et m'a enchaînée dans cette contrée déserte,
Sauve-moi une deuxième fois ;
Que ton indulgence me permette d'apparaître aux miens,
Accorde-moi, ô déesse ! d'apparaître
Dans la salle du grand roi !
