Du Ring an meinem Finger
 (Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT CHI DAN DUT ENG ENG FRE HEB ITA NOR POR RUS
Du Ring an meinem Finger,
  Mein goldenes Ringelein,
Ich drücke dich fromm an die Lippen,
  Dich fromm an das Herze mein.

Ich hatt' ihn ausgeträumet,
  Der Kindheit friedlichen Traum,
Ich fand allein mich, verloren
  Im öden, unendlichen Raum.

Du Ring an meinem Finger,
  Da hast du mich erst belehrt,
Hast meinem Blick erschlossen
  Des Lebens unendlichen Werth.

Ich werd' ihm dienen, ihm leben,
  Ihm angehören ganz,
Hin selber mich geben und finden
  Verklärt mich in seinem Glanz.

Du Ring an meinem Finger,
  Mein goldenes Ringelein,
Ich drücke dich fromm an die Lippen,
  Dich fromm an das Herze mein.
Modernized spelling would change "Werth" to "Wert"

Ты, кольцо на моём пальце
 (Sung text translation for setting by C. Loewe)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ты, кольцо на моём пальце,
Маленькое золотое кольцо.
Я с благоговением прижимаю тебя к губам
И к своему сердцу.

Мне это снилось
В мирном, сладком детском сне.
Потом я просыпалась — одинокая,
Затерянная в бесконечной пустоте.

Ты, кольцо на моём пальце,
Ты впервые научило меня,
Как распахнуть взор навстречу
Безграничной, бесценной жизни.

Я хочу служить ему, жить для него
Принадлежать ему,
Всецело отдавать себя
И вновь обретать, преображённую его сиянием.

Ты, кольцо на моём пальце
Маленькое золотое кольцо.
Я с благоговением прижимаю тебя к губам
И к своему сердцу.
