Morgenlied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Die frohe neu belebte Flur,
Singt ihrem Schöpfer Dank.
O, Herr und Vater der Natur,
Dir tön' auch mein Gesang!
Der Lebensfreuden schenkst du viel
Dem, der sich weislich freut;
Dies sei, o Vater, stets das Ziel
Bei meiner Fröhlichkeit.
Ich kann mich noch des Lebens freu'n
In dieser schönen Welt,
Mein Herz soll dem geheiligt seyn
Der weislich sie erhält.
Wenn dann mir Müden winkt der Tod
Zur bessern Welt zu gehn;
So bricht ein schön'res Morgenroth
Mir an beim Auferstehn.

Chant du matin
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Les champs joyeux fraîchement éveillés
Chantent des remerciements à leur créateur.
Ô Seigneur et Père de la nature,
Que mon chant résonne pour toi !
Tu accordes de nombreux plaisirs de la vie
À celui qui se réjouit sagement.
Que cela soit ,ô père, toujours le but,
Dans mon bonheur.
Je peux encore jouir de la vie
Dans ce monde magnifique ;
Mon cœur sera consacré à celui
Qui sagement la maintient.
Puis quand, fatigué, la mort me fera signe,
D'accéder à un monde meilleur,
Une magnifique aurore percera
Pour moi lors de la résurrection.
