Kamt ihr hier her, mit euren Liedern
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
König
 Kamt ihr hier her, mit euren Liedern 
 Aufruhr zu bringen unserm Thron?

Chorus
 Aufs Neu' erwacht des Königs Zorn!

Königin (bittend)
 O deutet's nicht so streng, 
 die Sänger ehrten nur den Meister, 
 der dieses Lied erdacht.

König
 Hinweg! hinweg!

Königin
 Doch eh' sie zieh'n, den einen Wunsch 
 Gewährt mir noch, ein Lied zu hören, 
 Mir lieb aus früher Jugendzeit,
 "Entsagung" war's genannt; 
 (zu dem Jüngling)
 Gewiss, du Sänger, kennst das Lied!

[Chorus
[Er wagt's!
[
[König (arglistig)
[ Singt denn 
             und setzt eure Worte gut,
 Dass euch belohne meine Hand.

[Chorus
[ Des Königs Lippen im Lächeln beben,
[ o dürft' ich warnen das junge Blut.
[Königin
[ Musik, wohl braucht es solcher Stunden,
[ So heilig und so zaubervoll,
[ Wenn dieses arme Herz gesunden,
[ Das welkende genesen soll!

Êtes‑vous venus ici avec vos chants
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Le roi
 Êtes-vous venus ici avec vos chants
 Pour apporter du trouble à notre trône ?

Chœur
 À nouveau la colère du roi se réveille !

La reine (suppliant)
 Oh, ne sois pas aussi dur,
 Les chanteurs honorent seulement le maître,
 Qui a conçu ce chant.

Le roi
 Allez-vous en ! allez-vous en !

La reine
 Mais avant qu'ils partent, qu'un souhait
 Me soit accordé encore, entendre un chant,
 Cher à moi, dans ma jeunesse,
 « Renoncement », il s'appelait ;
 (au jouvenceau)
 Sûrement, chanteur, tu connais ce chant !

[Chœur
[ C'est audacieux !
[
[Le roi (perfidement)
[ Chantez alors
                         et que vos mots soient justes,
 Que ma main vous récompense.

[Chœur
[ Les lèvres du roi tremblent de rire,
[ Oh, si je pouvais avertir le jeune sang.
[La reine
[ Musique, on a besoin de telles heures,
[ si sacrée et si pleine de magie,
[ Quand ce pauvre cœur en bonne santé
[ Qui se flétrit doit guérir !
