1. Dem Schmerz sein Recht
 (Sung text)
by Alban Maria Johannes Berg (1885 - 1935), "Dem Schmerz sein Recht", op. 2 (Vier Gesänge) no. 1 (1910)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlafen, Schlafen, nichts als Schlafen!
  Kein Erwachen, keinen Traum!
Jener Wehen, die mich trafen,
  Leisestes Erinnern kaum,
Daß ich, wenn des Lebens Fülle
  Niederklingt in meine Ruh',
Nur noch tiefer mich verhülle,
  Fester zu die Augen thu'!

1. Dormire, dormire, null'altro che dormire
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dormire, dormire, null'altro che dormire!
Non risveglio, non sogni!
Di ogni pena, che mi ha colpito,
non il più piccolo ricordo.
Così, quando la piena della vita
mi sommerge a turbare la mia pace,
io ancora più a fondo mi nascondo,
e gli occhi serro ancora più forte!

Addormentato mi portano

ed il mare profondo,
verso la mia terra natale.

Nun ich der Riesen Stärksten überwand,

Und ich wanke durch die Straßen
schlafbefangen.

3. Adesso ho superato la più dura delle cime
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Adesso ho superato la più dura delle cime
e, dal più oscuro dei paesi, la mia patria ritrovo
guidato da una bianca mano fatata -
Suonano forte le campane.
Ed io per le vie barcollo
colmo di sonno.

4. Warm die Lüfte
 (Sung text)
by Alban Maria Johannes Berg (1885 - 1935), "Warm die Lüfte", op. 2 (Vier Gesänge) no. 4 (1910)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Warm die Lüfte,
es sprießt Gras auf sonnigen Wiesen.
Horch!--
Horch, es flötet die Nachtigall...
Ich will singen:

Droben hoch im düstern Bergforst,
es schmilzt und sickert kalter Schnee,
ein Mädchen im grauen Kleide
lehnt am feuchten Eichstamm,
krank sind ihre zarten Wangen,
die grauen Augen fiebern
durch Düsterriesenstämme.
"Er kommt noch nicht. Er läßt mich warten"...
 
Stirb!
Der Eine stirbt, daneben der Andere lebt:
Das macht die Welt so tiefschön.

4. Tiepide brezze
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Tiepide brezze,
germoglia l'erba sui prati assolati.
Ascolta!
Ascolta, l'usignolo col suo canto flautato...
Voglio cantare anch'io:
Là sopra, sul monte, nella oscura selva,
mentre la fredda neve si discioglie,
una fanciulla vestita di grigio,
al tronco umido di una quercia si appoggia,
è sofferente il suo tenero viso,
e febbrile lo sguardo dei suoi occhi grigi
che vaga attraverso tronchi cupi e giganteschi.
"Egli ancora non viene, e mi fa aspettare..."
Tu muori!
L'uno muore, mentre l'altro vive:
questo fa il mondo così intensamente bello.
