Laß mich in deinem stillen Auge ruhen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG ITA

Laß mich in deinem stillen [Auge ruhen]¹,
Dein Auge ist der stillste Fleck auf Erden,
Es liegt sich gut in deinem dunkeln Blick,
Dein Blick ist gütig wie der weiche Abend.

Vom dunkeln Horizont der Erde
Ist nur ein Schritt hinüber in den Himmel,
In deinem Auge endet meine Erde.

Lascia che trovi riposo nel tuo sguardo...

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Lascia che trovi riposo nel tuo sguardo sereno,
nel mondo intero, il posto più tranquillo,
si sta così bene sotto i tuoi occhi scuri,
così benigni come una mite sera.

Dallo scuro orizzonte della terra
soltanto un passo conduce verso il cielo,
e nello sguardo tuo la mia terra finisce.
