Hymne an die Nacht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT SPA

Heil'ge Nacht, o gieße du 
Himmelsfrieden in dies Herz,
Bring' dem armen Pilger Ruh', 
holde Labung seinem Schmerz!
Hell schon erglühn die Sterne, 
grüßen aus blauer Ferne:
Möchte zu euch so gerne 
flieh'n himmelwärts.

Harfentöne, lind und süß, 
weh'n mir zarte Lüfte her,
aus des Himmels Paradies, 
aus der Liebe Wonnemeer.
Glüht nur, ihr gold'nen Sterne, 
winkend aus blauer Ferne:
Möchte zu euch so gerne 
flieh'n himmelwärts.

Himno a la noche

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

Sagrada noche, oh, envía
la paz del cielo a este corazón
lleva paz al pobre peregrino
dulce consuelo de su dolor. 
Claras brillan las estrellas
saludando desde la azul lejanía
cuánto me gustaría
volar hacia vosotras por el cielo. 

Sonidos de arpa, amables y dulces
me traen los tiernos airecilllos
desde el paraíso del cielo
desde el querido mar de las delicias.
Brillad, doradas estrellas, 
lanzad guiños desde la azul lejanía
cuánto me gustaría
volar hacia vosotras por el cielo.
