Alt-Solo
Vor Edens Tor im Morgenprangen
Stand eine Peri schmerzbefangen:
Und wie sie lauscht dem Lebensquelle,
Des Flut harmonisch drinnen hallte,
Und wie vom Licht ihr Fittich helle,
Das durch halboffne Pforten wallte:
Weint sie, verbannt aus diesen Au'n,
Ihr sündiges Geschlecht zu schaun.

À la porte du Paradis un matin
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Alto solo
À la porte du Paradis un matin
Se tenait une Péri, inconsolable ;
Et comme elle écoutait les sources de vie,
Les flots d'harmonie résonner à l'intérieur,
Et comme la lumière brillait sur ses ailes,
À travers les portes à moitié ouvertes :
Elle pleurait d'être exclue de ces prairies,
À voir sa race coupable.
