Wir haben Beide lange Zeit geschwiegen, Auf einmal kam uns nun die Sprache wieder. Die Engel, die herab vom Himmel fliegen, Sie brachten nach dem Krieg den Frieden wieder. Die Engel Gottes sind herabgeflogen, Mit ihnen ist der Frieden eingezogen. Die Liebesengel kamen über Nacht Und haben Frieden meiner Brust gebracht.

Nous avons été tous les deux silencieux pendant un long temps, Tout d'un coup, la parole nous est revenue. Les anges, qui volent depuis le ciel, Ont ramené la paix après la guerre. Les anges de Dieu sont descendus Et la paix est arrivée avec eux. Les anges de l'amour sont venus dans la nuit Et ont apporté la paix dans mon cœur.
