Duett
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
EIN GRIECHE
Ohne Verschulden Knechtschaft dulden,
Harte Noth!
Alle Tage neue Plage
Um das bischen liebe Brot!
EINE GRIECHIN
Von den Zweigen winkt der Feigen
Süße Frucht,
Nicht dem Knechte der sie pflegte,
Nur dem Herren, dem er flucht!
Beide
Hingegeben wilden Horden,
Tiefgebeugt in ihre Hand, ach!
Was ist aus die geworden,
Armes, armes Vaterland!

Duo
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Un grec :
Supporter l'esclavage, sans être coupable,
Est une dure peine !
Tous les jours un nouveau fléau
Pour le cher petit pain !
Une grecque :
Des branches s'agite du figuier
Le doux fruit,
Il ne les tend pas pour les esclaves
Seulement pour le maître maudit !
Ensemble :
Livrée à la troupe sauvage
Profondément courbée par sa main, hélas !
C'est ce qui t'es arrivé,
Pauvre, pauvre patrie !
