Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Es ist so still geworden,
Verrauscht des Abends Wehn,
Nun hört man aller Orten
Der Eng'lein Füße gehn,
Rings in die Thale senket
Sich Finsterniß mit Macht --
Wirf ab, Herz, was dich kränket
Und was dir bange macht!
...
Und hast du heut gefehlet,
O schau' nicht trüb zurück;
Empfinde dich beseelet
Von freier Gnade Glück.
Auch des Verirrten denket
Der Hirt auf hoher Wacht --
Wirf ab, Herz, was dich kranket
Und was dir bange macht!
Nun stehn im Himmelskreise
Die Stern' in Majestät;
In gleichem festem Gleise
Der goldne Wagen geht.
Und gleich den Sternen lenket
Er deinen Weg durch Nacht --
Wirf ab, Herz, was dich kränket,
Und was dir bange macht!

Tot és tan tranquil,
l’oreig del capvespre s’ha calmat,
ara se senten per tot arreu
els passos dels àngels,
la foscúria davalla poderosament
al voltant de les valls,
deixa estar, oh cor, el que t’amoïna
i el que et fa estar neguitós!
...
I si avui has pecat,
no miris enrera;
considera’t vivificat
per la gràcia del lliure perdó.
El pastor que vigila allà dalt
pensa també en els extraviats,
deixa estar, oh cor, el que t’amoïna
i el que et fa estar neguitós!
Ara, a la volta del cel,
es veuen les estrelles en plena majestat;
per la mateixa via ferma
passa l’auri carruatge.
I com les estrelles, guia
el teu camí a través de la nit,
deixa estar, oh cor, el que t’amoïna
i el que et fa estar neguitós!
