Es tanzen Mond und Sterne
Den flücht'gen Geisterreih'n:
Wer wird von Erdensorgen
Befangen immer seyn!
Du kannst in Mondesstrahlen
Nun, meine Barke, wallen;
Und aller Schranken los,
Wiegt dich des Meeres Schooß.
Vom Markusthurme tönte
Der Spruch der Mitternacht:
Sie schlummern friedlich Alle,
Und nur der Schiffer wacht.

La lluna i les estrelles dansen
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
La lluna i les estrelles dansen
la fugaç corrua dels esperits:
qui voldria ser captiu per sempre
de terrenals cabòries!
Ara, a la llum de la lluna,
tu, barca meva, pots onejar
i, sense impediments,
gronxejar-te a la falda del mar.
De la torre de Sant Marc
sona el toc de mitjanit,
tothom dorm tranquil•lament
i només el barquer vetlla.
