Kriegers Ahnung
 (Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FIN FRE GRE ITA KOR LIT NOR POR SPA
In tiefer Ruh liegt um mich her
Der Waffenbrüder Kreis;
Mir ist das Herz so bang und schwer,
Von Sehnsucht mir so heiß.

Wie hab' ich oft so süß geträumt
An ihrem Busen warm!
Wie freundlich schien des Heerdes Gluth,
Lag sie in meinem Arm!

Hier, wo der Flammen düstrer Schein
Ach nur auf Waffen spielt,
Hier fühlt die Brust sich ganz allein,
Der Wehmuth Thräne quillt.

Herz! Daß der Trost Dich nicht verläßt!
Es ruft noch manche Schlacht. -
Bald ruh' ich wohl und schlafe fest,
Herzliebste - Gute Nacht!

Note: in Schubert's song, in stanza 1, line 3, word 7 ("und") becomes "so" in the repetition.

Pensées de guerrier
 (Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Autour de moi, dans une profonde quiétude,
Dorment en cercle mes compagnons d'arme ;
J'ai le cœur si lourd et inquiet,
Je suis brûlant de désir.

J'ai si souvent doucement rêvé
À la chaleur de son sein !
L'ardeur du héros semblait si agréable
Quand elle se tenait en mes bras.

Ici, où la sombre lueur des flammes
Ne joue hélas que sur des armes,
Ici le cœur se sent tout seul,
Et les larmes mélancoliques jaillissent.

Mon cœur ! Que le réconfort ne t'abandonne pas !
Il y a encore maints combats à venir.
Bientôt je prendrai un bon repos et dormirai profondément,
Amour de mon cœur, bonne nuit.
