Du bist mein Land
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du bist mein Land,
ich deine Flut,
die sehnend dich ummeeret;
Du bist der Strand,
dazu mein Blut
ohn' Ende wiederkehret.
An Dich geschmiegt,
mein Spiegel wiegt
das Licht der tausend Sterne;
und leise rollt
dein Muschelgold
in meine Meergrundferne.

Tu es mon pays
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Tu es mon pays,
je suis ton flot
Qui langoureusement t'entoure de mer ;
Tu es la plage
où mon sang
revient sans fin.
Blotti contre Toi
mon miroir pèse
la lumière de mille étoiles ;
et doucement roule
ta nacre dorée
dans les lointaines profondeurs de ma mer.
