Traum durch die Dämmerung
 (Sung text for setting by R. Strauss)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Weite Wiesen im Dämmergrau;
die Sonne verglomm, die Sterne ziehn,
nun geh' ich hin zu der schönsten Frau,
weit über Wiesen im Dämmergrau,
tief in den Busch von Jasmin.

Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land;
ich gehe nicht schnell, ich eile nicht;
mich zieht ein weiches samtenes Band
durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land,
in ein blaues, mildes Licht.

Note for stanza 2, line 5: in Strauss's song in the repetition, the line reverts to the original "in ein mildes, blaues Licht".

Sueño al atardecer
 (Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)
 See original
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Anchas praderas al atardecer
El sol se oculta, salen las estrellas
Ahora camino hacia la más bella mujer.
Largamente sobre la pradera al atardecer
Profundamente en el arbusto de jazmín.

Al atardecer hacia la tierra amada
No me voy rápido, me voy sin prisa
Me arrastra una blanda, suave tela
Al atardecer, hacia la tierra amada
en una azul, suave luz.
