Zur Nacht

(Sung text for setting by J. Kittl)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

    Gute Nacht!
Allen Müden sei's gebracht.
Neigt der Tag sich still zum Ende,
Ruhen alle fleiß'gen Hände,
Bis der Morgen neu erwacht.
    Gute Nacht!

 ... 

    Schlummert süß!
Träumt euch euer Paradies.
Wem die Liebe raubt den Frieden,
Sei ein schöner Traum beschieden,
Als ob Liebchen ihn begrüß',
    Schlummert süß!

To the Night

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Kittl)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Good night!
To those who are weary, it comes
As the day quietly nods to an end.
Hard-working hands take their rest
Until newly waking at morning,
Good night!

 ... 

Slumber sweetly!
Dream of your paradise.
Upon those, robbed of peace by love,
Let a dream be bestowed,
As beautiful as a loved one’s greeting,
Slumber sweetly!

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3 of the original text.
