Translations available for the entire opus: CAT ENG FRE 

1. Nebel
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du, trüber Nebel, hüllest mir
Das Tal mit seinem Fluß,
Den Berg mit seinem Waldrevier,
Und jeden Sonnengruß.

Nimm fort in deine graue Nacht
Die Erde weit und breit!
Nimm fort, was mich so traurig macht,
Auch die Vergangenheit.

2. Trost
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
So komme, was da kommen mag!
So lang du lebest, ist es Tag.
Und geht es in die Welt hinaus,
Wo du mir bist, bin ich zu Haus.
Ich seh' dein liebes Angesicht,
Ich sehe die Schatten der Zukunft nicht.

3. Schliesse mir die Augen beide
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schließe mir die Augen beide
mit den lieben Händen zu;
geht doch alles, was ich leide,
unter deiner Hand zur Ruh.
Und wie leise sich der Schmerz
Well' um Welle schlafen leget,
wie der letzte Schlag sich reget,
füllest du mein ganzes Herz.

4. Bitte
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weil' auf mir, du dunkles Auge,
Übe deine ganze Macht,
Ernste, milde, träumerische,
Unergründlich süße Nacht!

Nimm mit deinem Zauberdunkel
Diese Welt von hinnen mir,
Daß du über meinem Leben
Einsam schwebest für und für.

  • by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850), "Bitte", appears in Gedichte, in 1. Erstes Buch, in Sehnsucht
