Schenk ein, liebe Sonne, dein Licht,...

Schenk ein, liebe Sonne, dein Licht, dein Licht,
Ich will es trinken wie Wein,
Und wenn mich mein Herz dann zu packen kriegt,
Dann werden wir beide betrunken sein!
Dann dreht die Welt sich rund um uns rum
Und die Nachtigall singt wie ein Buch:
Wie ist doch der Hansel so dumm, so dumm,
Und die Grethel so klug, so klug!

Cher soleil, verse ta lumière, ta lumière
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Cher soleil, verse ta lumière, ta lumière
Je veux la boire comme du vin,
Et si mon cœur commence à m'étreindre,
Alors nous serons ivres tous deux !
Alors le monde tournicotera autour de nous
Et le rossignol chantera comme un livre :
« Pourquoi donc Hansel est si bête, si bête,
Et Gretel si maline, si maline ! »
