Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Zur Ruh', zur Ruh',
Ihr müden Glieder!
Schließt fest euch zu,
Ihr Augenlider!
Ich bin allein,
Fort ist die Erde;
Nacht muß es sein,
Daß Licht mir werde;
O führt mich ganz,
Ihr innern Mächte!
Hin zu dem Glanz
Der tiefsten Nächte.
Fort aus dem Raum
Der Erdenschmerzen
Durch Nacht und Traum
Zum Mutterherzen!

A repòs, a repòs
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
A repòs, a repòs,
vosaltres, cansats membres!
Tanqueu-vos fermament,
vosaltres, parpelles!
Estic tot sol,
la terra és lluny;
ha de ser la nit
que la meva llàntia esdevingui;
oh, guieu-me bé,
vosaltres, forces interiors!
Vers l’esplendor
de la nit més profunda.
Lluny de l’espai
dels dolors terrenals
a través de la nit i el somni
vers el cor matern!
