In dem Himmel ruht die Erde
Language: German (Deutsch)
In dem Himmel ruht die Erde, Mond und Sterne halten Wacht, Auf der Erd' ein kleiner Garten Schlummert in der Blumen Pracht. Gute Nacht, gute Nacht! In dem Garten steht ein Häuschen, [Still]1 von Linden überdacht; [Vor dem kleinen]2 Erkerfenster Hält ein [Vogel]3 singend Wacht. Gute Nacht, gute Nacht! In dem Erker schläft ein Mädchen, [Träumet]4 von der Blumenpracht; Ihr im Herzen ruht [der]5 Himmel, D'rin die [Engel]6 halten Wacht. Gute Nacht, gute Nacht!

La terra reposa al cel
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
La terra reposa al cel, la lluna i les estrelles fan la guàrdia, a la terra, un petit jardí dorm en l’esplendor de les flors. Bona nit, bona nit! Al jardí hi ha una caseta, tranquil•la, coberta de til·lers; a fora, a l’ampit de la finestra un ocell fa la guàrdia. Bona nit, bona nit! A l’estança dorm una donzella, somia en l’esplendor de les flors; al seu cor el cel reposa, a dins, els àngels fan la guàrdia. Bona nit, bona nit!
