Language: Romanian (Română)
Tu din cer venit' aice Ca sa faci lumea ferice, Dă-mi o zi din viață ta, Dă-mi o zi dumnezeiască, Sufletul să-mi fericească, Și eu sufletul ți-oi da. Fie- n lume râu sau bine Lumea 'ntreagă pentru mine Stă cuprinsă-n umbra ta. Dă-mi o zi dumnezeiască, Sufletul să-mi fericească, Și eu sufletul ți-oi da. Tu dai viață cu-o zâmbire Moarte cu-a ta nesimțire, Raiul cu iubirea ta. Dă-mi o zi dumnezeiască, Sufletul să-mi fericească, Și eu sufletul ți-oi da.

Ständchen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Romanian (Română)
Die du kamst vom Himmel oben, wie aus Licht und Glanz gewoben kehrtest in mein Herze ein: Wolltest du aus deinem Leben einen einz'gen Tag mir geben, meine Seele wäre dein. Und vor deinem hellen Glanze hüllt sich wohl die Welt, die ganze, in den tiefsten Schatten ein. Wolltest du aus deinem Leben einen einz'gen Tag mir geben, meine Seele wäre dein. Du verklärst des Lebens Tage, rasch verstummet jede Klage, Wonne wird das ganze Sein. Wolltest du aus deinem Leben einen einz'gen Tag mir geben, meine Seele wäre dein.
