Ständchen

(Sung text for setting by J. Lang)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA

In dem Himmel ruht die Erde,
Mond und Sterne halten Wacht,
Auf der Erd' ein kleiner Garten
Schlummert in der Blumen Pracht.--
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

In dem Garten steht ein Häuschen,
Still von Linden überdacht;
Vor dem kleinen Erkerfenster
Hält ein Vogel singend Wacht.--
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

In dem Erker schläft ein Mädchen,
Träumet von der Blumenpracht;
Ihr im Herzen ruht ein Himmel,
D'rin die Engel halten Wacht.--
Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

Note: Lang's manuscript ends with "Gute Nacht, gute Gut!" - presumably a typo.

Serenata

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Lang)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

La terra reposa al cel,
la lluna i les estrelles fan la guàrdia,
a la terra, un petit jardí
dorm en l’esplendor de les flors.
Bona nit, bona nit!

Al jardí hi ha una caseta,
tranquil•la, coberta de til·lers;
a fora, a l’ampit de la finestra
un ocell fa la guàrdia.
Bona nit, bona nit!

A l’estança dorm una donzella,
somia en l’esplendor de les flors;
al seu cor el cel reposa,
a dins, els àngels fan la guàrdia.
Bona nit, bona nit!
