Komm in die stille Nacht!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Komm in die stille Nacht! -- Liebchen, was zögerst du? Sonne ging längst zur Ruh', Welt schloß die Augen zu, Rings nur einzig die Liebe wacht! Liebchen, was zögerst du? Schon sind die Sterne hell, Schon ist der Mond zur Stell', Eilen so schnell, so schnell! Liebchen, [mein]1 Liebchen, drum eil' auch du! Sonne ging längst zur Ruh! -- Traust wohl dem Schimmer nicht, Der durch die Blüthen bricht? Treu ist des Mondes Licht. Liebchen, mein Liebchen, was fürchtest du? Welt schloß die Augen zu! Blumen und Blüthenbaum Schlummern in süßen Traum, Erde, sie athmet kaum, Liebe nur schaut dem Liebenden zu! -- Einzig die Liebe wacht, Ruft dich allüberall. Höre die Nachtigall, Hör' meiner Stimme Schall, Liebchen, o komm in die stille Nacht!
R. Schumann sets stanzas 1-2, 5

Vieni nella notte tranquilla
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Vieni, nella notte tranquilla! Amore, perché stai esitando? Il sole è tramontato da tempo, E il mondo ha chiuso gli occhi, E tutt'intorno veglia soltanto amore! Amore, perché stai esitando? Già stanno splendendo le stelle, e si è levata la luna, e vanno così veloci, veloci! Amore, amore, affrettati anche tu. Il sole è tramontato da tempo! Non ti fidi forse della luce, che a notte emanano i fiori? Fedele è la luce lunare, Amore, amor mio, di cosa hai paura? Il mondo ha chiuso gli occhi! Fiori e alberi in fiore Dormono dolcemente sognando, La terra respira appena, Solo l'amore guarda chi ama! Soltanto l'amore veglia, e da ogni luogo ti chiama. Ascolta l'usignolo, ascolta il suono della mia voce, Amore, o vieni nella notte tranquilla!
