Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Abendkelch voll Sonnenlicht
Noch einmal geneiget,
Eh' des Tages Herze bricht
Und der Nacht verhüllt' Gesicht
Seinen Tod beschweiget!

Alles Herzwehs Abendwein,
Laß dich trinken, trinken!
Glüh dein Gold in mich hinein!
Und dann mag auch über mein
Haupt ihr Antlitz sinken.

Calice du soir empli de la lumière du soleil

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

Calice du soir empli de la lumière du soleil
Encore une fois bu jusqu'à la lie,
Avant que le cœur du jour ne se brise
Et que la figure voilée de la nuit
Fasse silence sur sa mort !

Vin du soir de toutes les peines du cœur,
Laisse-toi boire, boire !
Que ton or rougeoyant pénètre en moi !
Et puisse ensuite son visage aussi
S'abaisser sur ma tête.
