Bad I om sang til vinen?

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Our translations: FRE

Bad I om sang til vinen?
En dæmpet sang i det dæmrende lys,
sang over fyldte bægre!

Nei, blomsterne dufter så altfor deiligt inat!

Jeg kysser den slankeste lilje,
jeg hæver det blankeste bæger,
og duggen falder, og natten vinder,
og dagens tindrende høitid rinder,
sol står af hav!

Da tømmer jeg bægret i lange drag,
da bøier jeg knæ for den lyse dag,
og synger en sang for alverdens dårer:
om alt, vi har jublet, om alt, vi har gråt,
om dronningen i vore drømmes slot,
din høisang, Zerlina.

Invitez‑vous à chanter le vin ?

Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)

Invitez-vous à chanter le vin ?
Une chanson douce dans le demi-jour,
chantée avec des coupes pleines !

Non, les fleurs embaument si délicieusement cette nuit !

J'embrasse le lis le plus svelte,
Je lève la coupe la plus brillante,
et la rosée tombe, et la nuit monte,
et l'éclatante fête du jour passe,
le soleil est dans l'eau !

Alors je vide la coupe à grands traits
et je plie le genou devant la lumière du jour,
et entonne une chanson pour les fous de l'univers :
à nous tous qui nous sommes réjouis, à nous tous qui avons pleuré,
à la reine du château de nos rêves,
ton cantique, Zerlina.
