Schöne Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Schöne Nacht,
Gestirne wandeln
Heilig über dir,
Und des Tags bewegtes Handeln,
Stillt zum Traum sich hier.

Was ich sehne,
Was ich fühle
Ist nun doppelt mein,
Ach in deiner keuschen Kühle,
Wird es gut und rein.

Und so bringst du
Diese Erde,
Bringst mein Herz zur Ruh,
Daß es still und stiller werde,
Schöne Nacht wie du.

Formosa nit
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Formosa nit,
els estels circulen
beatífics al teu damunt,
i aquí el mogut trafeguejar del dia
es calma per al somni.

El que anhelo,
el que sento
és ara doblement meu,
ai, en la teva casta frescor,
tot s’esdevé bo i pur.

I així menes
aquesta terra
i també el meu cor al repòs,
perquè esdevingui cada cop més tranquil,
com tu, oh formosa nit.
