Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Eine gute, gute Nacht
Pflegst du mir zu sagen -
Über dieses eitle Wort,
O wie muß ich klagen!
Daß du meiner Seele Glut
Nicht so grausam nährtest;
»Eine gute, gute Nacht«,
Daß du sie gewährtest!

Une bonne, bonne nuit
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Une bonne, bonne nuit
Avais-tu l'habitude de me souhaiter ;
Ces mots futiles,
Ô comme je les regrette !
Si tu ne te jouais si cruellement
De l'embrasement de mon âme ;
« Une bonne, bonne nuit »
Tu lui aurais consenti !
