Ertöne Leyer
Zur Festesfeyer!
Apollo steig hernieder,
Begeistre unsre Lieder!
Lange lebe unser Vater Franz!
Lange währe seiner Tage Chor!
Und im ewig schönen Flor
Blühe seines Lebens Kranz.
Wonnelachend umschwebe die Freude
Seines grünenden Glückes Lauf.
Immer getrennt vom trauernden Leide,
Nehm' ihn Elysiums Schatten auf.
Endlos wieder töne, holde Leyer,
Bringt des Jahres Raum die Zeit zurück,
Sanft und schön an dieser Festesfeyer
Ewig währe Vater Franzens Glück!

Pour la fête du père
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Lyre, résonne
Pour célébrer la fête !
Apollon descend,
Excité par nos chants.
Longue vie à notre père Franz !
Que le chœur de ses jours dure longtemps !
Et qu'une belle floraison éternelle
Fleurisse la couronne de sa vie.
Que la joie souriante de bonheur entoure
Le cours verdoyant de sa fortune.
Toujours épargné par des deuils douloureux,
Ombres de l'Élysée emportez-le.
Par des notes sans fin, douce lyre,
Ramène le temps de l'année.
Doux et beau, pour célébrer cette fête,
Soit toujours le bonheur du père Franz !
