An mein Klavier
 (Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Sanftes Klavier!
Welche Entzückungen schaffest du mir,
Sanftes Klavier!
Wenn sich die Schönen
Tändelnd verwöhnen,
Weih' ich mich dir,
Liebes Klavier!

Bin ich allein,
Hauch ich dir meine Empfindungen ein,
Himmlisch und rein.
Unschuld und Spiele,
Tugendgefühle
Sprechen aus dir,
Trautes Klavier!

 ... 

Sing' ich dazu, 
Goldener Flügel! welch himmlische Ruh
Lispelst mir du!
Thränen der Freude
Netzen die Saite;
Silberner Klang
Trägt den Gesang.

 ... 

Sanftes Klavier!
Welche Entzückungen schaffest du mir,
Goldnes Klavier!
Wenn mich im Leben
Sorgen umschweben,
Töne du mir,
Trautes Klavier!
