Abendempfindung
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT CHI DAN DUT ENG FRE ITA JPN LIT NOR SPA SPA
Abend ist's, die Sonne ist verschwunden,
Und der Mond strahlt Silberglanz;
So entfliehn des Lebens schönste Stunden,
Fliehn vorüber wie im Tanz.

Bald entflieht des Lebens bunte Szene,
Und der Vorhang rollt herab;
Aus ist unser Spiel, des Freundes Träne
Fließet schon auf unser Grab.

Bald vielleicht (mir weht, wie Westwind leise,
Eine stille Ahnung zu),
Schließ ich dieses Lebens Pilgerreise,
Fliege in das Land der Ruh.

Werdet ihr dann an meinem Grabe weinen,
Trauernd meine Asche sehn,
Dann, o Freunde, will ich euch erscheinen
Und will [Himmel auf]1 euch wehn.

Schenk auch du ein Tränchen mir und pflücke 
Mir ein Veilchen auf mein Grab,
Und mit deinem seelenvollen Blicke
Sieh dann sanft auf mich herab.

Weih mir eine Träne, und ach! schäme
dich nur nicht, sie mir zu weihn;
Oh, sie wird in meinem Diademe
Dann die schönste Perle sein!

Sensation du soir
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
C'est le soir, le soleil est disparu,
et la lune brille de son éclat d'argent ;
ainsi s'évadent les plus belles heures de notre vie,
s'échappent devant nous comme dans une danse.

Bientôt s'échappera la scène de la vie, pleine de couleurs,
et le rideau tombera ;
fini notre jeu, les larmes de notre ami
coulent déjà sur notre tombe.

Bientôt, peut-être (tel le vent d'Ouest, 
m'arrive une douce prémonition),
terminerai-je le pèlerinage de cette vie,
et volerai-je au pays du silence.

Quand vous allez pleurer à ma tombe
quand vous verrez, endeuillés, mes cendres
alors j'apparaîtrai devant vous, mes amis
et du Ciel je vous ferai signe.

Toi aussi, offre-moi une larme
et cueille une violette à ma tombe
et avec ton regard plein d'âme
regarde-moi doucement.

Offre-moi une larme et 
n'aie pas honte de pleurer pour moi ;
elle sera, dans mon diadème
la plus belle des perles !
