Noaptea profundă
Language: Romanian (Română)
Noaptea profundă In ea cufundă Pământul june, reinflorit, Bolta senină Blândă lumină Varsă din sânul sau aurit. Şi totul tace Divină pace Peste natură domneşte lin, Dar o furtună Geme şi tună In al meu suflet sdrobit de chin. Ah! nici e rază Nu luminează Noaptea profundă ce m'a cuprins, Inima-i ruptă De lunga luptă Ce-amor şi ură crud au incins!

Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Romanian (Română)
Nächtliches Rauschen, heimliches Lauschen, stille die Welt, ein riesiges Grab; magisch im Dunkeln glühen und funkeln glänzende Sterne leuchtend herab. Bangendes Schweigen, träumerisch neigen dunkelnde Schatten zum Tal sich hin, feindlich doch walten wüste Gestalten, stürmen den liebegequälten Sinn. Freundlicher Schimmer leuchtet nun immer mild durch die Nacht, die tief mich umfängt. Ewige Trauer, frostiger Schauer grausam das arme Herz mir bedrängt.
