Cidli, du weinest, und ich schlummre...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Cidli, du weinest, und ich schlummre sicher,
Wo im Sande der Weg verzogen fortschleicht;
Auch wenn stille Nacht ihn umschattend decket,
Schlummr' ich ihn sicher.

Wo er sich endet, wo ein Strom das Meer wird,
Gleit' ich über den Strom, der sanfter aufschwillt;
Denn, der mich begleitet, der Gott gebots ihm!
Weine nicht, Cidli.

Vrees der geliefden ‑ Aan Cidli
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Cidli, jij schreit zacht en ik sluimer veilig,
Waar in zanden de weg al kronk'lend wegsluipt;
Ook als stille nacht hem met schaduw afdekt,
Sluim'r ik toch veilig.

Waar de weg ophoudt, waar een stroom tot zee wordt,
Glijd ik over de stroom, die zachter opzwelt;
Want die mij als gids dient, de god gebood  't  hem.
Ween maar niet, Cidli!
