Es rauschet das Wasser
Und bleibet nicht stehn;
Gar lustig die Sterne
Am Himmel hin gehn;
Gar lustig die Wolken
Am Himmel hin ziehn;
So rauschet die Liebe
Und fähret dahin.
Er
Es rauschen die Wasser,
Die Wolken [vergeh'n]1;
Doch bleiben die Sterne,
Sie wandeln und [steh'n]2.
So auch mit der Liebe,
[Der treuen, geschicht]3,
Sie wegt sich, sie regt sich,
Und ändert sich nicht.

Elle
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Elle.
L'eau murmure
Et ne reste pas en place ;
Même les étoiles au ciel
Avancent joyeusement ;
Même les nuages au ciel
Passent joyeusement ;
Ainsi murmure l'amour,
Ainsi passe-t-il.
Lui.
L'eau murmure,
Les nuages se dissipent ;
Mais les étoiles restent,
Elles errent et demeurent.
Il en va ainsi de l'amour,
Partagé par ceux qui sont fidèles
Il se déplace, il bouge,
Mais ne change pas.
