Und sprich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Sieh auf dem Meer den Glanz
der hohen Sonne liegen,
sieh über die Wogen hin,
die leisen Spiels sich wiegen,
zahllose Lichter und zahllose Schatten fliegen,
und sprich zu deinem Leid:
"Du kleine, dunkle Welle."
Und sprich zu deinem Glück:
"Du Glanz an flücht'ger Stelle."
Und sprich zu deinem Gott:
"Du ew'ge Sonnenhelle."

Et parle
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Regarde sur l'océan l'éclat
Du soleil là-haut,
Regarde comment au-dessus des vagues
Qui se balancent en un jeu silencieux
Des lumières innombrables et des ombres innombrables volent.
Et parle à ton chagrin :
« Toi, petite vague sombre. »
Et parle à ton bonheur :
« Toi, éclat d'une étoile filante. »
Et parle à ton dieu :
« Toi, éclat éternel du soleil. »
