Available translation(s): FRE
Nimm einen Strahl der Sonne,
Vom Abendstern das Licht,
Die Feuerglut des Aetna,
Die aus der Lava bricht:
[Du hast, was mich erwärmet
Was mich erhebt und verklärt,]1
Und was mein inn'res Leben
Bis in den Tod verzehrt!

Prends un rayon du soleil
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Prends un rayon du soleil,
La lumière d'une étoile du soir,
Le brasier de l'Etna,
Qui est brisé par la lave --
Tu as ce qui me réchauffe
Et m'éclaire et me transfigure, --
Et ce qui dévore mon âme
Jusqu'à la mort.
