Our translations: FRE ITA

Simon, Lukas, Hanne, Chor
 Sei nun gnädig, milder Himmel!
 Öffne dich, und träufe Segen über unser Land herab!
 Laß deinen Tau die Erde wässern! 
 Laß Regenguß die Furchen tränken!
 Laß deine Lüfte wehen sanft!
 Laß deine Sonne scheinen hell!
 Uns sprießet Überfluß alsdann,
 und deiner Güte Dank und Ruhm.

Maintenant sois propice, ciel clément !

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

Simon, Lucas, Anne, chœur
 Maintenant sois propice, ciel clément !
 Ouvre-toi et laisse goutter ta bénédiction sur nos terres  !
 Que ta rosée mouille la terre !
 Que tes averses abreuvent les sillons !
 Que tes brises soufflent doucement !
 Que ton soleil brille clairement !
 Alors l'abondance germera pour nous,
 Et pour ta bonté nous te remercierons et te louerons.
