1. Schwanengesang  [sung text not yet checked]
by (George Efraim) Fritz Arlberg (1830 - 1896), "Schwanengesang", op. 2 (Zwei Lieder vom Tode) no. 1 [ mezzo-soprano or low tenor and orchestra ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht,
Das Leben ist der schwüle Tag.
Es dunkelt schon, mich schläfert,
Der Tag hat mich müd gemacht.

Über mein Bett erhebt sich ein Baum,
Drin singt die junge Nachtigall;
Sie singt von lauter Liebe -
Ich hör es sogar im Traum.

1. La morte è una notte fresca
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
La morte è una notte fresca,
la vita un giorno afoso,
Già si fa buio, ho sonno,
e mi ha stancato il giorno.
 
C'è un albero vicino al mio letto,
lì canta un usignolo;
Canta soltanto d' amore -- 
In sogno lo sento pure.
