Our translations: ENG FRE
Hab' ich geträumt? klang hier nicht meine Laute?
Dort winkt die Halle, der ich einst entfloh.
Dies ist der [Palast]1, den Fürst Hermann baute,
Und doch so neu, so kunstverjüngt, so froh.
Wie preis' ich Euch, fremdliebliche Gestalten!
Wer ist, den nicht das Glück des Hauses rührt?
Wo wir gekriegt, will Schönheit friedlich walten.
Heil allen, die sie neu hier eingeführt!

Have I been dreaming? Did not my lute...
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Have I been dreaming? Did not my lute sound here?
There beckons the hall from which I once fled.
This is the palace that Lord Hermann built,
And yet so new, made so youthful by art, so joyful.
How I praise you, foreign yet beloved beings!
Who would not be moved by the happiness of the house?
Where we battled, beauty wishes to preside peacefully,
Hail to all who introduced her here anew!
