Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG GER SPA

Comme Dieu rayonne aujourd'hui,
Comme il exulte, comme il fleurit
Parmi ces roses et ces fruits!

Comme il murmure en cette fontaine!
Ah! comme il chante en ces oiseaux...
Qu'elle est suave son haleine
Dans l'odorant printemps nouveau!

Comme il se baigne dans la lumière
Avec amour, mon jeune dieu!
Toutes les choses de la terre
Sont ses vêtements radieux.

Cómo brilla Dios hoy

Language: Spanish (Español) after the French (Français)

Cómo brilla Dios hoy. 
Cómo exulta, cómo florece
entre estas rosas y estos frutos. 

Cómo murmura en esta fuente
Ah, cómo canta en estos pájaros. 
Qué suave es su aliento
en la nueva primavera fragante. 

Cómo se baña en la luz
con amor, mi joven dios
todas las cosas de la tierra
son sus vestidos radiantes.
