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, 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.
