Was klingen denn die Hörner

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA

Chor:
 Was klingen denn die Hörner
 Im Morgendämmerschein,
 Was bringen sie ein Ständchen
 Vor ihrem Kämmerlein?
 Hochzeit wird gefeiert!
 Wörtlein, ach so süß,
 Schlüsslein zu dem trauten
 Eheparadies!
 Hochzeit wird gefeiert!
 Röslein, auf, erwach'!
 Fei're froh noch deinen
 Letzten Mädchentag!

Sopran:
 Die Kirchenglocken klingen,
 Und vor des Heilands Bild
 Hat sich aus ihrem Traume
 Die Wahrheit schön enthüllt.

Frauenchor:
 Den Bund der treuen Herzen
 Hat Priestermund geweiht,
 Den Schwur der treuen Liebe
 Schrieb ein die Ewigkeit.

Pourquoi les cors sonnent‑ils

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

Chœur :
 Pourquoi les cors sonnent-ils
 Dans la lumière du matin qui pointe ?
 Pourquoi donnent-ils une sérénade
 Devant sa petite chambre ?
 Des noces vont être célébrées !
 Mot, ah, si doux,
 C'est la petite clé de l'intime
 Paradis du mariage !
 Des noces vont être célébrées !
 Petite rose, debout, réveille-toi !
 Célèbre joyeusement
 Le dernier jour de jeune fille !

Soprano :
 Les cloches de l'église sonnent,
 Et devant l'image du Sauveur
 Hors de leurs rêves
 La vérité se dévoile magnifiquement.

Chœur de femmes :
 Le lien de leurs cœurs fidèles
 A été consacré par la bouche du prêtre,
 Leur vœu d'amour fidèle
 A été écrit pour l'éternité.
