Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Eine gute, gute Nacht
Pflegst du mir zu sagen -
Über dieses eitle Wort,
O wie muß ich klagen!
Daß du meiner Seele Glut
Nicht so grausam nährtest;
»Eine gute, gute Nacht«,
Daß du sie gewährtest!

Una bona, bona nit
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Una bona, bona nit,
solies desitjar-me –
d’aquests frívols mots,
com m’haig de plànyer!
Si no haguessis alimentat tan cruelment
l’ardor de la meva ànima;
“Una bona, bona nit!”
Li hauries concedit!
