Johannis war gekommen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA

Tenor-Solo:
 Johannis war gekommen,
 Der Erde Hochzeitstag,
 Wo sie als Braut am Herzen
 Des lieben Frühlings lag.

 Die stille Nacht umschleiert
 Den Schlummer der Natur.
 Das blasse Licht des Mondes
 Durchwandelt Hain und Flur.

 Die kleinen Blättchen schwirren
 Kaum hörbar in dem Baum,
 Um Schilf und Wasserblumen
 Schwebt Schlaf und Abendtraum.

Alt-Solo:
 Was ist auf jener Wiese
 Für zauberischer Sang,
 Und unterm Frühlingsgrase
 Für wunderlicher Klang?

Le jour de la Saint Jean est arrivé

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

Ténor solo :
 Le jour de la Saint Jean est arrivé,
 Le jour des noces de la terre.
 Quand comme une fiancée sur le cœur
 Du bien-aimé printemps elle repose.

 La nuit silencieuse enveloppe
 Le sommeil de la nature.
 La lumière pâle de la lune
 Se promène à travers la lande et les champs.

 Les petites feuilles frémissent
 Presque sans bruit dans l'arbre.
 Autour des roseaux et des nénuphars
 Flottent le sommeil et les rêves du soir.

Alto solo :
 Qu'est-ce qui sur cette prairie
 Chante magiquement,
 Et sous l'herbe du printemps
 Résonne merveilleusement ?
