Calme des nuits
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): DUT GER SPA
Calme des nuits, fraîcheur des soirs,
Vaste scintillement des mondes,
Grand silence des antres noirs
Vous charmez les âmes profondes.
L'éclat du soleil, la gaité,
Le bruit plaisent aux plus futiles;
Le poète seul est hanté
Par l'amour des choses tranquilles.

Stille der Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français)
Stille der Nacht, Kühle des Abends,
Funkeln der Sterne,
Lautlosigkeit dunkler Höhlen
Ihr bezaubert die empfindsamen Seelen.
Der grelle Glanz der Sonne und die lärmende Heiterkeit
sind das Vergnügen der Oberflächlichen.
Allein der Dichter ist beherrscht
von der Liebe zu den ruhigen Dingen.
