Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner Nacht, Ein Stern, der süßen Trost herniederlacht Und neues Leben mir verspricht - O, lüge nicht! Gleichwie das Meer dem Mond entgegenschwillt, So flutet meine Seele, froh und wild, Empor zu deinem holden Licht - O, lüge nicht!

Une belle étoile se lève sur ma nuit
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Une belle étoile se lève sur ma nuit Une étoile dont le sourire est une douce consolation Et qui me promet une nouvelle vie - Ô ne mens pas ! Comme la mer qui se lève vers la lune, Mon âme joyeuse et sauvage Monte vers ta gracieuse lumière - Ô ne mens pas!
