Es träumen die Wolken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Es träumen die Wolken,
Die Sterne, der Mond,
Die Bäume, die Vögel,
Die Blumen, der Strom.
Sie wiegen,
Und schmiegen
Sich tiefer zurück,
Zum thauigen Bette,
Zur ruhigen Stätte,
Zum heimlichen Glück.
Doch Blättergesäusel
Und Wellengekräusel
Verkünden Erwachen.
Denn ewig geschwinde,
Unruhige Winde,
Sie [stören und]1 fachen.

Erst schmeichelnde Regung,
Dann wilde Bewegung;
Und dehnende Räume
Verschlingen die Träume.

Im Busen, im reinen,
Bewahre die deinen;
Es ströme dein Blut:
Vor rasenden Stürmen
Besonnen zu schirmen 
Die heilige Gluth.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Johann Mayrhofer. Wien. Bey Friedrich Volke. 1824, pages 118-119.

Notes:
In stanza 1, lines 8 and 9 are switched in the first pass but not in the repetition.
In stanza 1, line 16, the Schubert edition referred to as the Alte Gesamtausgabe erroneously changes "stören, sie" to "stöhnen, sie" (see footnote 1 below).

1 Schubert: "stören, sie"

Sognano le nuvole
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Sognano le nuvole,
le stelle, la luna,
gli alberi, gli uccelli,
i fiori, il fiume.
Si cullano 
e si raccolgono
in sé stessi, più profondamente,
verso un sito di pace,
verso un rugiadoso giaciglio,
verso una interiore felicità.
Ma il mormorare delle foglie
e l’incresparsi delle onde
ne annunciano il risveglio:
perché eterni, veloci 
venti irrequieti 
sospirano agitandosi,

dapprima con moto insinuante,
poi con impulso selvaggio,
e gli spazi che si dilatano
imprigionano i sogni.

Dentro un cuore incontaminato
custodisci i tuoi:
il tuo sangue fluisca,
di fronte all’assalto delle tempeste,
imperturbabile, per proteggere
la fiaccola sacra.
