Komm in die stille Nacht! --
Liebchen! was zögerst du?
Sonne ging längst zur Ruh',
Welt schloß die Augen zu,
Rings nur einzig die Liebe wacht!
Liebchen, was zögerst du?
Schon sind die Sterne hell,
Schon ist der Mond zur Stell',
Eilen so schnell, so schnell!
Liebchen, mein Liebchen, drum eil' auch du!
...
Einzig die Liebe wacht,
Ruft dich allüberall.
Höre die Nachtigall,
Hör' meiner Stimme Schall,
Liebchen, o komm in die stille Nacht!

Vieni, nella notte tranquilla!
Amore, perché stai esitando?
Il sole è tramontato da tempo,
E il mondo ha chiuso gli occhi,
E tutt'intorno veglia soltanto amore!
Amore, perché stai esitando?
Già stanno splendendo le stelle,
e si è levata la luna,
e vanno così veloci, veloci!
Amore, amore, affrettati anche tu.
...
Soltanto l'amore veglia,
e da ogni luogo ti chiama.
Ascolta l'usignolo,
ascolta il suono della mia voce,
Amore, o vieni nella notte tranquilla!
