Über Nacht

(Sung text for setting by H. Wolf)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Über Nacht, über Nacht
Kommt still das Leid,
Und bist du erwacht,
O traurige Zeit!
Du grüßest den dämmernden Morgen
Mit Weinen und mit Sorgen.

Über Nacht, über Nacht
Kommt still das Glück
Und bist du erwacht,
O selig Geschick!
Der düstre Traum ist zerronnen,
Und Freude ist gewonnen.

Über Nacht, über Nacht
Kommt Freud und Leid,
Und eh du's gedacht,
Verlassen dich beid
Und gehen, dem Herrn zu sagen,
Wie du sie getragen.

De nuit

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Wolf)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

De nuit, de nuit
La peine arrive silencieusement,
Et quand tu t'éveilles,
Ô triste temps !
Tu accueilles l'aube naissante,
Avec des larmes et du chagrin.

De nuit, de nuit
Le bonheur arrive silencieusement,
Et quand tu t'éveilles,
Ô destin béni !
Le rêve sombre s'est évanoui,
Et la joie est gagnée.

De nuit, de nuit
Viennent la joie et le chagrin,
Et avant que tu en sois conscient
Ils te quittent tous les deux,
Et vont dire au Seigneur
Comment tu les a supportés.

Translation of extra stanza:

De nuit, de nuit,
Vient la mort,
Ah, y as-tu réfléchi
À lever du jour ?
Tu ne vas pas trembler
Si c'était l'amour de ta vie.
