So sann sie nach und schwang die Flügel
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT FRE ITA SPA
Tenor-Solo
So sann sie nach und schwang die Flügel
Jetzt über Indiens Blumenhügel.
Vokalquartett
O süßes Land! O Götterpracht!
Es flüstern die Palmen sacht,
Es flimmert die Sternennacht,
Dort schäumt auf Bernsteingrund das Meer
Über Korallenriffe her,
Dort brütet heiß der Sonne Brand,
Im Schoß der Berge Diamant,
Es rieseln, reichen Bräuten gleich,
Die Bächlein hold an Golde reich,
Dort duften Sandelhaine süß
O Paradies!

Ainsi elle songeait et battit des ailes
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Ténor solo
Ainsi elle songeait et battit des ailes
À présent au-dessus des collines fleuries d'Inde.
Quatuor vocal
Ô douce terre ! Ô magnificence des dieux !
Les palmiers chuchotent doucement,
La nuit étoilée scintille,
Là, la mer écume sur le fond d'ambre
Au-dessus des récifs de corail,
Là le feu brûlant du soleil couve
Des diamants au sein de la montagne,
Comme de riches fiancées, coulent
Des petits ruisseaux adorables, riches en or,
Là des buissons de santal au doux parfum --
Ô Paradis !
