Abendlied

(Sung text for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG

Das Tagewerk ist abgethan. 
Gib, Vater, deinen Segen! 
Nun dürfen wir der Ruhe nahn;
Wir thaten nach Vermögen.
Die holde Nacht umhüllt die Welt,
Und Stille herrscht in Dorf und Feld.

 ... 

Wenn du getreu vollendet hast,
Wozu dich Gott bestellte;
Behaglich fühlst du dann die Rast,
Vom Thun in Hitz und Kälte.
Am Himmel glänzt der Abendstern,
Und zeigt noch beßre Rast von fern.

Cançó de capvespre

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Ja feta la feina del dia,
dóna’ns, Pare, la teva benedicció!
Ara ens és permès d’anar al descans;
hem fet el que estava al nostre poder.
La benigna nit embolcalla el món
i el silenci regna als pobles i camps.

 ... 

Si tu has fidelment perfet
el que Déu et va ordenar,
sents amb complaença el repòs
del quefer en la calor i el fred.
Al cel brilla l’estrella del vespre
i de lluny assenyala una millor folgança.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,4 of the original text.
