Des Sonntags in der Morgenstund'
Language: German (Deutsch)
Des Sonntags in der Morgenstund', Wie wandert's sich so schön Am Rhein, wenn rings in weiter Rund' Die Morgenglocken gehn! Ein Schifflein zieht auf blauer Flut, Da singt's [und]1 jubelt's drein; Du Schifflein, gelt, das fährt sich gut In all die Lust hinein? Vom Dorfe hallet Orgelton, Es tönt ein frommes Lied, Andächtig dort die Prozession Aus der Kapelle zieht. Und ernst in [all die]2 Herrlichkeit Die Burg herniederschaut Und spricht von alter, guter Zeit, Die auf den Fels gebaut. Das Alles beut der prächt'ge Rhein An seinem Rebenstrand, Und spiegelt recht im hellsten Schein Das ganze Vaterland, Das fromme, treue Vaterland In seiner vollen Pracht, Mit Lust und Liedern allerhand Vom lieben Gott bedacht.

Dimanches sur le Rhin
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Les dimanches, le matin, Comme il est agréable de se promener Le long du Rhin, quand tout autour Les cloches du matin sonnent ! Un petit bateau avance sur le flot bleu, Là on chante et on pousse des cris d'allégresse ; Petit bateau, dis, n'est-ce pas bon de voyager Dans un tel agrément ? Depuis le village on entend le son de l'orgue, Entonnant un chant pieux, Là la procession avec recueillement Part de la chapelle. Et gravement dans toute sa splendeur Le château regarde en bas Et parle du bon vieux temps Où il a été construit sur la falaise. Le Rhin puissant offre toute cela Sur sa rive couverte de vignes, Et reflète dans l'éclat le plus brillant La patrie tout entière. La patrie pieuse et fidèle Dans toute sa gloire, Avec plaisir et chants tout autour Est contemplée par le Dieu bien-aimé.
