Schweb' empor am Himmel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE POR
  [Schweb']1 empor am Himmel,
Schöner Abendstern!
Sieht im Glanzgewimmel
Jeder dich ja gern.

  Gehn sie auf, gehn nieder
Sie am Himmelsrand,
Keinen deiner Brüder
Schmückt ein solch Gewand.

  Ihr's scheint an den Kanten
Leicht mit Gold beklebt,
Dein's aus Diamanten
Durch und durch gewebt.

  Steht auch dir zur Seiten
Oft des Mondes Pracht,
Strahlst du doch bei Weiten
Hehrer durch die Nacht.

  Ihm leiht fremde Helle
Seinen Perlenglanz,
Voll aus eigner Quelle
Strömt dein Sonnenglanz.

  Schweb' empor am Himmel,
Schöner Abendstern!
Sieht im Glanzgewimmel
Jeder dich ja gern.

Estrela da tarde
Language: Portuguese (Português)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Paira no alto do céu, 
Bela estrela da tarde!
Todos gostam de te ver
No bulício brilhante.

Subam ou desçam,
Lá no firmamento,
Nenhuma das tuas irmãs
Se enfeita com tais vestes.

As delas parecem ligeiramente 
Coladas com ouro nos cantos,
As tuas são inteiramente 
Tecidas de diamantes.

A teu lado fica amiúde
O esplendor da lua,
Mas o teu brilho irradia de longe
Através da noite.

O seu brilho pérola
Dá-lhe uma estranha claridade
O teu brilho solar
Corre da sua própria fonte.

Paira no alto do céu, 
Bela estrela da tarde!
Todos gostam de te ver
No bulício brilhante.
