Von dürrem Oste dringt

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE ITA

Recitativo: Simon
 Von dürrem Oste dringt 
 ein scharfer Eishauch jetzt hervor.
 Schneidend fährt er durch die Luft,
 verzehret jeden Dunst
 und hascht des Tieres Odem selbst.
 Des grimmigen Tyranns,
 des Winters Sieg ist nun vollbracht,
 und stummer Schrecken drückt
 den ganzen Umfang der Natur.

De l'est desséché se fraie un chemin

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

Récitatif : Simon
 De l'est desséché se fraie un chemin
 Maintenant un souffle glacé plus piquant.
 Il avance en cinglant à travers l'air,
 Il dévore toute vapeur,
 Et attrape même le souffle des animaux.
 Du tyran furieux,
 De l'hiver, la victoire est maintenant complète,
 Et une terreur muette recouvre
 La nature dans toute son étendue.
