Ruhe, schönstes Glück der Erde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG
Ruhe, schönstes Glück der Erde,
Senke segnend dich herab,
Daß es stille [in]1 uns werde,
Wie in Blumen ruht ein Grab.
Laß des Herzens Stürme schweigen,
Eitle [Träume]2 wiege ein;
Wie sie wachsen, wie sie steigen,
Wächst und steigt der Seele Pein.
Deinen Frieden gieb der Erde,
Deinen Balsam geuß herab,
Daß geheilt die Seele werde,
Sich erhebend aus dem Grab!

Repòs, el goig més bell de la terra
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Repòs, el goig més bell de la terra,
davalla i beneeix-nos,
per què esdevinguem tranquils
com reposa una tomba entre flors.
Fes que callin les tempestes del cor
i els somnis frívols s’abalteixin!
Així com ells creixen i augmenten,
creix i augmenta la pena de l’ànima.
Dóna la teva pau a la terra,
fes vessar el teu bàlsam,
per què l’ànima es guareixi
quan s’enlairi de la tomba!
