Einklang

(Sung text for setting by H. Wolf)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA

Weil jetzo alles stille ist
Und alle Menschen schlafen,
Mein' Seel' das ew'ge Licht begrüsst,
Ruht wie ein Schiff in Hafen.

Der falsche Fleiß, die Eitelkeit, 
Was keinen mag erlaben,
Darin der Tag das Herz zerstreut,
Liegt alles tief begraben.

Ein andrer König wundergleich
Mit königlichen Sinnen,
Zieht herrlich ein im stillen Reich,
Besteigt die ew'gen Zinnen.

Harmonie

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Wolf)

See original

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

Parce que maintenant tout est silencieux
Et que tous les hommes dorment,
Mon âme salue la lumière éternelle,
Et repose comme un navire au port.

Le faux zèle, la vanité,
Dont personne ne peut se délecter,
Et qui dispersent le cœur le jour durant,
Gisent enterrés profondément.

Un autre roi, merveilleusement riche,
Avec un esprit royal,
Entre majestueusement dans le royaume silencieux
Et monte sur les remparts éternels.

Title "Einklang" = "Harmonie"
