Berg und Thal will ich durchstreifen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Berg und Thal will ich durchstreifen 
  In der Frühlingstage Pracht,
Wo auf Wiesen und in Wäldern
  Die verjüngte Schöpfung lacht.

In das Wonnemeer der Düfte,
  Das aus allen Blüthen quillt,
Will ich ganz mich untertauchen 
  Bis der Seele Durst gestillt.

Bis ich selber untergehe 
  In der Blüthen Balsamduft,
Und aus dir verjüngt erstehe
  Du geliebte Frühlingsluft.

Chanson de printemps

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

Je veux parcourir monts et vallées
   Dans la splendeur des jours de printemps,
Là où, sur les prairies et dans les forêts,
   Rit le monde rajeuni.

Dans la voluptueuse mer des parfums
   Qui coulent de toutes floraisons,
Je veux me plonger entièrement
   Jusqu'à ce que se calme la soif de mon âme.

Jusqu'à ce que je sombre même
   Dans le parfum balsamique des fleuraisons
Et que de toi, je renaisse rajeuni,
   De toi, brise de printemps bien-aimée.
