Komm in die stille Nacht! -- Liebchen! was zögerst du? Sonne ging längst zur Ruh', Welt schloß die Augen zu, Rings nur einzig die Liebe wacht! Liebchen, was zögerst du? Schon sind die Sterne hell, Schon ist der Mond zur Stell', Eilen so schnell, so schnell! Liebchen, [mein]1 Liebchen, drum eil' auch du! Sonne ging längst zur Ruh! -- Traust wohl dem Schimmer nicht, Der durch die Blüten bricht? Treu ist des Mondes Licht. Liebchen, mein Liebchen, was fürchtest du? Welt schloß die Augen zu! Blumen und Blütenbaum Schlummern in süßem Traum, [Erde, sie]2 atmet kaum, Liebe nur schaut [den]3 Liebenden zu! – Einzig die Liebe wacht, Ruft dich [allüberall]4. Höre die Nachtigall, Hör' meiner Stimme Schall, [Liebchen, o komm in die stille Nacht!]5

Come to me in the silent night! My dear, what makes you hesitate? The sun has long since gone to rest, the world has closed its eyes, around us only Love is awake! My dear, what makes you hesitate? Already the stars are bright, Already the moon is in its place, hurrying quickly, so quickly! My dear, ah my dear, you must also therefore hurry! The sun has long since gone to rest! Don't you trust its shine to break soon through the blossoms? True is the moon's light, my dear, my dear, so why are you afraid? The world has closed its eyes! Flowers and blossoming trees slumber in sweet dreams; the earth, it hardly breathes; Only Love is looking at us lovers! Love alone is awake, calling to you above all others. Hear the nightingale, hear my voice's call; my dear, o come to me in the silent night!

Auf eines Berges Gipfel Da möcht' ich mit dir stehn, Auf Täler, Waldeswipfel Mit dir herniedersehn; Da möcht' ich rings dir zeigen Die Welt im Frühlingsschein, Und sprechen: wär's mein Eigen, So wär' es mein und dein. In meiner Seelen Tiefen, O sähst du da hinab, Wo alle Lieder schliefen, Die je ein Gott mir gab! Da würdest du erkennen: Wenn [Echtes]1 ich erstrebt, Und mag's [auch dich]2 nicht nennen, Doch ist's von dir belebt.

1 Lang: "Ächtes"2 Unger: "dich auch"
On the top of a mountain I would like to stand with you, Gazing down upon Valleys and treetops; Around [us] I would like to show you The world in the glow of spring, And say : were this mine, It would now be mine and yours. Into the depths of my soul, O you would look, Where slumbering lay all the songs That God gave me! There you would see: When I seek Reality, Even if it does not name you, It is animated by you.
