Der Sänger

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT FRE

Noch singt den Widerhallen
Der Knabe sein Gefühl;
Die Elfe hat Gefallen
Am jugendlichen Spiel.

Es glänzen seine Lieder
Wie Blumen rings um ihn;
Sie gehn mit ihm wie Brüder
Durch stille Haine hin.

Er kommt zum Völkerfeste,
Er singt im Königssaal,
Ihm staunen alle Gäste,
Sein Lied verklärt das Mahl;

Der Frauen Schönste krönen
Mit lichten Blumen ihn;
Er senkt das Aug in Tränen,
Und seine Wangen glühn.

Le chanteur

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

Le garçon chante à nouveau
Ses états d'âme aux échos ;
La nymphe s'est plu
Au jeu juvénile.

Ses chants brillent
Comme les fleurs autour de lui,
Ils l'accompagnent comme des frères
À travers le bois silencieux.

Il participe aux fêtes populaires,
Il chante dans le palais du roi,
Il étonne tous les convives,
Son chant illumine le repas ;

Les plus belles parmi  les dames
Le couronnent de fleurs lumineuses ;
Il baisse ses yeux emplis de larmes
Et ses joues sont en feu.
