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.

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.
