Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Der Becher klingt; mein Herz ist der Becher!
Trink Liebe, trinke dich satt!
Es zittert; o berauschter Zecher,
Der fest in bebenden Händen es hat!
Wer hat wie du ein Meer zum Pokale?
Ein Meer voll wachsender Glut!
Es saugt aus eurem feuchten Strahle,
Ihr trunkenen Augen, die himmlische Flut.

Le gobelet tinte, le gobelet est mon...

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

Le gobelet tinte, le gobelet est mon cœur !
Bois de l'amour, bois à satiété !
Tu frémis ; ô buveur enivré
Qui le tient en des mains tremblantes !
Qui, comme toi, a une mer dans sa coupe ?
Une mer emplie d'une ardeur croissante !
Yeux ivres, cette onde céleste s'abreuve
De votre rayonnement humide.
