Nicht wandle, mein Licht, dort außen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Hungarian (Magyar)
Nicht wandle, mein Licht, dort außen
im Flurbereich!
Die Füße würden dir, die zarten,
zu naß, zu weich.
All überströmt sind dort die Wege,
die Stege dir;
so überreichlich tränte dorten
das Auge mir.

Zwerf niet, mijn licht
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Zwerf niet, mijn licht,
daar buiten in het veld,
je zachte voeten zouden
te nat worden, te week.
Overstroomd zijn daar
voor jou de wegen, de paden,
zo overvloedig weende
mijn oog daar tranen.
