Resignation
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): DUT ENG FRE ITA
Lisch aus, mein Licht!
Was dir gebricht,
Das ist nun fort,
an diesem Ort
Kannst du's nicht wieder finden!
Du mußt nun los dich binden.
Sonst hast du lustig aufgebrannt,
Nun hat man dir die Luft entwandt;
Wenn diese fort gewehet,
die Flamme irregehet,
Sucht, findet nicht;
lisch aus, mein Licht!

Rassegnazione
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Spegniti, luce mia,
ciò che ti fu tolto
ora è andato via,
né in questo posto
lo puoi ritrovare!
Vi devi rinunciare.
Era allegra la tua fiamma un tempo,
ora l'aria ti è stata rubata;
e quando è cessato il vento
la fiamma resta smarrita.
Va in cerca ma non trova:
Spegniti, luce mia, allora.
