Poeme de William HermannsF032
Oh! Nations libres
Oh! Nations libres, bâtissez Un mur vivant, d'une force fatalel Poussez-le contre l'esclavage, Pour écraser le mal! Levons lea mains, jurons au ciel: "La mort est llbre, comme nos âmes, L'homme n'est pas ne' encore, pour nous Faire embrasser l'infâme!" Déjà emerge de la nuit— Est-ce le poison ou est-ce l'épée? L'ôtage meurt, mais pas l'espoir Homme8 libres, avancez! Faites déployer les ailes du vent Et balayez les mers, les terres, Pour arracher du monde souffrant La corde et le fer. Que votre sang rougisse les neiges, Ou qu'il arrose les déserts, Voyez votre âme, n'est-elle pas Plus grande que l'univers? Oh! le martyre des délaissés Ohl l'héroisme sur le front: Les peuples meurent mais pas la foi: Hommes libres avançons! William Hermanns [F032] Note: Composed during WWII in Cambridge. Translation by author from original Poem P032 Free Men Go Forth. German translation by author to Gedicht G060 Auf freie Völker. It is set to music. |
