Pfingsten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
[Ernsten]1 Tones laden Glocken
Zum Gebet ins Marmorhaus,
Doch die dumpfen Klänge locken
Mich in Wald und Feld hinaus.
In den Wipfeln rauscht und singt es
Urgewaltge Melodei,
Und aus jeder Blume klingt es,
Daß es heute Pfingsten sei.

Pentecôte
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Avec des sons solennels les cloches invitent
À prier dans la maison de marbre,
Mais les sons étouffés m'attirent
Dehors dans la forêt et la campagne.
À la cime des arbres bruissent et chantent
Des mélodies puissantes et primitives,
Et de chaque fleur retentit
Le fait qu'aujourd'hui est la Pentecôte.
