Gute Ruh', gute Ruh'!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FIN FRE GRE ITA KOR POR
Gute Ruh', gute Ruh'!
Thu die Augen zu!
Wandrer, du müder, du bist zu Haus.
Die Treu' ist hier,
Sollst liegen bei mir,
Bis das Meer will trinken die Bächlein aus.

Will betten dich kühl,
Auf [weichem]1 Pfühl,
In dem blauen krystallenen Kämmerlein.
Heran, heran,
Was wiegen kann,
Woget und wieget den Knaben mir ein!

Wenn ein Jagdhorn schallt
Aus dem grünen Wald,
Will ich sausen und brausen wohl um dich her.
Blickt nicht [herein]2,
Blaue Blümelein!
Ihr macht meinem Schläfer die Träume so schwer.

Hinweg, hinweg
Von dem Mühlensteg,
Böses [Mägdlein]3, daß ihn dein Schatten nicht weckt!
Wirf mir herein
Dein Tüchlein fein,
Daß ich die Augen ihm halte bedeckt!

Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!
Bis Alles wacht,
Schlaf' aus deine Freude, schlaf' aus dein Leid!
Der Vollmond steigt,
Der Nebel weicht,
Und der Himmel da [oben]4, wie ist er so weit!

Buon riposo, buon riposo!
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
 Buon riposo, buon riposo!
 Chiudi gli occhi.
 Stanco viandante, eccoti a casa.
 Qui sta la fedeltà,
 riposa con me
 fin che il mare berrà tutti i ruscelli.

 Ti sistemerò fresco
 su un morbido letto
 nella cameretta azzurra e trasparente.
 Avanti, avanti,
 tutto ciò che sa cullare!
 Dondolatemi e cullatemi il bambino.

 Quando il corno
 risuona nel verde bosco
 ti coprirò col mio scrosciante suono.
 Non guardate qui,
 fiorellini celesti!
 Portate brutti sogni al mio caro che dorme.

 Via, via
 dalla passerella del mulino!
 cattiva fanciulla, ché la tua ombra non lo svegli.
 Gettami
 il tuo fazzolettino,
 voglio coprirgli gli occhi.

 Buona notte, buona notte!
 Fin che ogni cosa si svegli,
 dormi sulla tua gioia, dormi sul tuo dolore!
 La luna piena sale,
 la nebbia si dirada,
 e il cielo, quassù, è immenso.
