Evig og uden Forandring

Language: Danish (Dansk)

Our translations: FRE

Evig og uden Forandring
Er kun det Tomme.
Alt, hvad der var og der er
Og hvad der skal komme,
Vækkes, spirer og fødes,
Skifter, ældes og dødes.
	 
Kloder have vandret
Hvor Kloder nu vandre,
En Gang i Tiderne
Kommer der andre.
Hvad der er Livets maa gaa og komme,
Evig er ene Rummet det tomme.

Seul le vide

Language: French (Français) after the Danish (Dansk)

Seul le vide 
Est éternel et sans changement.
Tout ce qui était et qui est
Et ce qui est à venir,
S'éveille, germe et se nourrit
Change, vieillit et meurt.

Les mondes ont erré
Où seuls errent les mondes,
Un jour dans le passé
L'autre est arrivé.
Celui qui vit peut passer et arriver,
Seul l'espace est éternel, le vide.
