Laululle

Language: Finnish (Suomi)

Our translations: GER

Kuin tunturilla puro hiljaa helää
ja luopi kultatähkät pajurukkaan,
niin sinäkin, sä Laulu, saatat kukkaan
sen ihmismielen, jossa kaiho elää.

Ja siksi kiitän sua, Laulu hento:
sä siunaat kaihonkukin elämäni,
sä helkyt silloinkin, kun edessäni
on syksy, jolloin uupuu verten lento.

An den Gesang

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Finnish (Suomi)

Wie ein Bächlein an den Fjelden leise singet,
und hilft die goldnen Weidenkätzchen blühen,
so auch du, Gesang, bringst zur Blüte
des Menschen Seele, wo die Sehnsucht lebet.

Und dafür dank' ich dir, o holder Gesang:
mit Blumen der Sehnsucht segnest du mein Leben,
und ertönst auch dann,
wenn der Herbst vor mir steht,
und matt ermüdet meines Blutes Flug.
