Vom Berg hinabgestiegen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
Vom Berg [hinabgestiegen]1
Ist nun des Tages Rest;
Mein Kind liegt in der Wiegen,
Die [Vöglein]2 all' im Nest;
Nur ein ganz klein Singvögelein
Ruft weit daher im Dämmerschein:
"Gut' Nacht! gut' Nacht!
Lieb' Kindlein, gute Nacht!"

Das Spielzeug ruht im Schreine,
Die Kleider auf der Bank,
Ein [Mäuschen]3 ganz alleine
Es raschelt noch im Schrank,
Und draußen steht der Abendstern
Und winkt dem Kind aus weiter Fern':
"Gut' Nacht! gut' Nacht!
Lieb' Kindlein, gute Nacht!"

Die Wiege geht im Gleise,
Die Uhr [pickt]4 hin und her,
Die Fliegen nur ganz leise
[Sie]5 summen noch daher. 
Ihr Fliegen, laßt mein Kind in Ruh'!
Was [summt]6 ihr ihm so heimlich zu?
"Gut' Nacht! gut' Nacht!
Lieb' Kindlein, gute Nacht!"

Der Vogel und die Sterne,
[Die Fliegen]7 rings umher,
Sie haben mein Kind [schon]8 gerne,
Die Engel noch viel mehr. 
Sie decken's mit den Flügeln zu
Und singen leise: "Schlaf in Ruh!
Gut' Nacht! gut' Nacht!
Lieb' Kindlein, gute Nacht!"

In estate
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Dietro al monte disceso 
ora finisce il giorno.
Sta nella culla il bimbo
nel nido gli uccellini;
Ne resta uno soltanto
che canta lontano al tramonto:
"Buona notte! buona notte!
Bambino bello, buona notte!".

I giocattoli stanno nella panca
i vestiti nell'armadio,
un topolino tutto solo
raschia nella dispensa,
e in alto la stella della sera
sorride al bimbo da lontano:
"Buona notte! buona notte!
Bambino bello, buona notte!".

La culla dondola lieve
la pendola fa tic-tac,
Le mosche ancora in volo
vanno ronzando piano.
Mosche non molestate il mio bimbo!
Cosa gli dite col vostro ronzio?
"Buona notte! buona notte!
Bambino bello, buona notte!".

Gli uccelli e tutte le stelle
che stanno attorno al mio bimbo,
gli vogliono tanto bene,
e gli angeli ancora di più!
Lo proteggono con le loro ali
e cantano dolcemente: "Dormi sereno,
Buona notte! buona notte!
Bambino bello, buona notte!".
