Les cloches tintaient, légères et franches, dans le ciel clément. Rhythmique et fervent comme une antienne, ce lointain appel me remémorait la blancheur chrétienne des fleurs de l'autel. Ces cloches parlaient d'heureuses années, et, dans le grand bois, semblaient reverdir les feuilles fanées, des jours d'autrefois. The leaves unfurled on branches so lightly delicate and soft. The bells rang out so light and free in the cloudless sky Rhythmical and fervent a distant call like the anthems of old Called to mind the pure white lilies on holy altar's sacrifice Those bells spoke to me of happier times now gone And in the great wood they seemed to revive the faded leaves of days long since passed. singing translation (c) David W Solomons  less

Words (slightly amended by Pastor Joachim Bremer) (translation below) Zwischen Berg und tiefem, tiefem Tal saßen einst zwei Hasen, fraßen ab das grüne, grüne Gras, fraßen ab das grüne, grüne Gras, bis auf den Rasen. Als sie sich nun satt gefressen hatten, Setzten sie sich nieder, Bis dass der Jäger Jäger kam Bis dass der Jäger Jäger kam, Und schoss sie nieder. Als sie sich nun aufgerappelt hatten, Und sie sich besannen, Dass sie noch am lieben Leben war'n, Dass sie noch am lieben Leben war'n, Hoppelten sie von dannen. ========== Between the mountain and the deep valley there were once two hares sitting eating up the green green grass right down to the ground When they had had their fill They sat down Until the hunter came and shot them down When they came back to their senses and realised they were still alive they hopped away.  less

STALLINGS Sleep, she will not linger: She turns her moon-cold shoulder. With no ring on her finger, You cannot hope to hold her. She turns her moon-cold shoulder And tosses off the cover. You cannot hope to hold her: She has another lover. She tosses off the cover And lays the darkness bare. She has another lover. Her heart is otherwhere. She lays the darkness bare. You slowly realize Her heart is otherwhere. There's distance in her eyes. You slowly realize That she will never linger, With distance in her eyes And no ring on her finger.  less
