Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Die Nacht mit ihrem Frieden
Bedeckt die weite See,
Der Mond ist aufgegangen
Und wandelt durch die Höh.
Die Welt ist lauter Stille,
Nur mein Gedanke wacht
Und wandelt durch die Ferne
Zu dir in dunkler Nacht.

Night with its peace
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Night with its peace
Covers the wide sea,
The moon has risen
And travels on high.
The world is pure stillness,
Only my thoughts are awake
And wander through the distance
To you in the dark night.
