Wanderers Nachtlied

(Sung text for setting by F. Lachner)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: AFR CAT CHI DUT DUT ENG ENG ENG FIN FRE FRE GRE HUN IRI ITA ITA SPA SPA

Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh',
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.
Über allen Wipfeln
Ist Ruh',
Balde
Ruhest du auch.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".

Canto notturno del viandante I

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Lachner)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Su tutte le vette
è pace,
fra le cime degli alberi
senti
appena un alito;
gli uccellini stanno in silenzio nel bosco.
Aspetta, presto
avrai pace anche tu.
