Available translation(s): ENG FRE
O Sonne, liebe Sonne,
Verdecke deinen Pfad!
Wer kann den Glanz ermessen,
Wer kann den Glanz vergessen,
Wenn nun der Winter naht?
O Sonne, liebe Sonne,
Verdecke nun dein Licht!
Die Lieb mit ihrem Blicke,
Die Lieb mit ihrem Glücke --
Ach du erreichst sie nicht!

Ô soleil, cher soleil
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Ô soleil, cher soleil,
Cache ton chemin,
Qui peut mesurer l'éclat,
Qui peut oublier l'éclat,
Quand l'hiver approche.
Ô soleil, cher soleil,
Cache maintenant ta lumière !
L'amour avec son regard,
L'amour avec son bonheur,
Ah, tu ne peux l'atteindre !
