Der Stern

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT CHI DUT ENG FRE SPA

Ich sehe ihn wieder den lieblichen Stern;
er winket hernieder, er nahte mir gern;
er wärmet und funkelt, je näher er kömmt,
die andern verdunkelt, die Herzen beklemmt.

Die Haare im Fliegen er eilet mir zu,
das Volk träumt von Siegen, ich träume von Ruh.
Die andern sich deuten die Zukunft daraus,
vergangene Zeiten mir leuchten ins Haus.

L'étoile

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Je la revois, la chère étoile,
Elle me fait signe, elle m'approche avec plaisir ;
Plus elle approche et plus elle réchauffe et étincelle,
Et éclipse les autres qui ont le cœur oppressé.

Elle se presse vers moi, les cheveux au vent,
Le peuple rêve de victoire, moi, je rêve de repos.
Les autres en tirent des augures,
Dans ma maison elle éclaire le temps passé.
