Wir Kinder im Juli geboren Lieben den Duft des weißen Jasmin, Wir wandern an blühenden Gärten hin Still und in schwere Träume verloren. Unser Bruder ist der scharlachene Mohn, Der brennt in flackernden Schauern Im Ährenfeld und auf den heißen Mauern, Dann treibt seine Blätter der Wind davon. Wie eine Julinacht will unser Leben Traumbeladen seinen Reigen vollenden, Träumen und heißen Erntefesten ergeben, Kränze von Ähren und rotem Mohn in den Händen.

Nous, enfants nés en Juillet, Aimons le parfum du jasmin blanc, Nous allons par les jardins fleuris, Calmes et perdus dans nos rêves lourds. Notre frère est le coquelicot écarlate, Dont le frisson flamboyant brûle Dans les champs de blé et sur les murs surchauffés, Et puis dont le vent chasse les pétales. Comme une nuit de juillet, notre vie Chargée de rêves veut accomplir sa ronde, Engendrer des rêves et de chaudes fêtes de moissons, Couronnes d'épis et de coquelicots dans les mains.
