Translation by Wilhelm Müller (1794 - 1827)

Alle Winde schlafen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE FRE POR SPA
Alle Winde schlafen
Auf dem Spiegel der Flut;
Kühle Schatten des Abends
Decken die Müden zu.

Luna hängt sich Schleier
Über ihr Gesicht,
Schwebt in dämmernden Träumen
Über die Wasser hin.

Alles, Alles stille
Auf dem weiten Meer!
Nur mein Herz will nimmer
Mit zu Ruhe gehn.

In der Liebe Fluten
Treibt es her und hin,
Wo die Stürme nicht ruhen,
Bis der Nachen sinkt.

J. Eschmann sets stanzas 1-3
