So willst du des Armen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA LIT TUR
[So willst]1 du des Armen
Dich gnädig erbarmen?
So ist es kein Traum?
Wie rieseln die Quellen,
Wie tönen die Wellen,
Wie rauschet der Baum!

Tief lag ich in bangen
Gemäuern gefangen,
Nun grüßt mich das Licht!
Wie spielen die Strahlen!
Sie blenden und malen
Mein schüchtern Gesicht.

Und soll ich es glauben?
Wird keiner mir rauben
Den köstlichen Wahn?
Doch Träume entschweben,
Nur lieben heißt leben;
Willkommene Bahn!

Wie frei und wie heiter!
Nicht eile nun weiter,
[Den]2 Pilgerstab fort!
Du hast überwunden,
Du hast ihn gefunden,
Den seligsten Ort!

Malonės princesės
Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Malonės princesės
Galiu aš tikėtis?
Ar aš ne sapne?
Šaltiniai kaip teka,
Kaip skamba verpetai,
Kaip ošia giria!

Už mūrų klastingų
Buvau užrakintas,
Štai šviesą regiu!
Drovumas išblėsta
Nuo veido paliesto
Žaismės spindulių.

Turiu tuo tikėti?
Svajonės šios niekas
Daugiau neišplėš?
Dvejonės pabėga,
Tik meilė palieka:
Tai kelias vilties!

Tai džiugesį teikia!
Skubėt nebereikia
Sustok ir pajusk:
Laimėt tau pavyko,
Radai atrakintus
Palaimos vartus!
