Du meine Seele, du mein Herz,
Du meine Wonn', o du mein Schmerz,
Du meine Welt, in der ich lebe,
Mein Himmel du, darein ich schwebe,
O du mein Grab, in das hinab
Ich ewig meinen Kummer gab!
Du bist die Ruh, du bist der Frieden,
Du bist vom Himmel mir beschieden.
Daß du mich liebst, macht mich mir werth,
Dein Blick hat mich vor mir verklärt,
Du hebst mich liebend über mich,
Mein guter Geist, mein beßres Ich!

Tu la meva ànima, tu el meu cor
 (Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)
 See original
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Tu la meva ànima, tu el meu cor,
tu la meva felicitat, tu la meva pena,
tu el meu món on jo visc,
el cel en el que jo floto,
oh tu la meva tomba, dins la qual
enterro eternament el meu dolor!
Tu ets el repòs, tu ets la pau,
ets el que el cel m'ha atorgat.
Que tu m'estimis, em fa digne,
el teu esguard em transfigura,
estimant-me m'eleves per sobre meu,
el meu bon esperit, el meu millor jo!
