Morgenlied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Die frohe neu belebte Flur,
Singt ihrem Schöpfer Dank.
O, Herr und Vater der Natur,
Dir tön' auch mein Gesang!
Der Lebensfreuden schenkst du viel
Dem, der sich weislich freut;
Dies sei, o Vater, stets das Ziel
Bei meiner Fröhlichkeit.
Ich kann mich noch des Lebens freu'n
In dieser schönen Welt,
Mein Herz soll dem geheiligt seyn
Der weislich sie erhält.
Wenn dann mir Müden winkt der Tod
Zur bessern Welt zu gehn;
So bricht ein schön'res Morgenroth
Mir an beim Auferstehn.

Canto del mattino
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
La campagna, lieta di essere tornata a rivivere,
canta le lodi del suo creatore.
O Signore e Padre della natura
anche i miei versi risuonino per te!
Al piacere della vita aggiungi molti valori
per colui che sa rallegrarsi con saggezza.
Sia sempre questo, o Padre, il fine
della mia felicità.
Posso ancora gioire dell’esistenza
in questo magnifico pianeta:
è giusto che il mio cuore sia consacrato
a chi sapientemente lo conserva.
Quando poi, a me stanco, la morte farà segno
di raggiungere un mondo migliore,
vedrò spalancarsi un’aurora ancora più bella
attraverso la resurrezione.
