In den Garten eingestiegen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

In den Garten eingestiegen
Wär ich nun mit gutem Glück  -- 
Wie die Fledermäuse fliegen!
Langsam weicht die Nacht zurück.

Doch indes am Feldessaume
Drüben kaum Aurora glimmt,
Hab ich unterm Lindenbaume
Hier die Fiedel schon gestimmt.

Sieh, dein Kammerfenster blinket
In dem ersten Morgenstrahl;
Heller wird's, die Nacht versinket;
Horch! Da schlug die Nachtigall!

Schlaf nicht mehr! Die Morgenlüfte
Rütteln schon an deiner Tür;
Rings erwacht sind Klang und Düfte,
Und mein Herz verlangt nach dir.

Zu des Gartens Schattendüster
Komm herab, geliebtes Kind!
Nur im Laub ein leis Geflüster  -- 
Und verschwiegen ist der Wind.

Je suis monté au jardin

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

Je suis monté au jardin
Et y suis maintenant avec grand bonheur.
Comme les chauves-souris volent !
Lentement la nuis s'échappe.

pourtant, tandis qu'à la lisère des champs
Aurore rougeoie à peine,
J'ai sous le tilleul
Accordé mon violon.

Vois, la fenêtre de ta chambre cligne
Dans les premiers rayons du matin ;
Il fait plus clair, la nuit disparaît ;
Écoute ! Le rossignol chante !

Ne dors plus ! Les brises du matin
Frappent déjà à ta porte ;
Autour les sons et les parfums sont éveillés,
Et mon cœur te réclame.

Chère enfant, descends
Dans les ombres obscures du jardin !
Juste un léger murmure dans le feuillage
Et le vent s'est tu.
