An die Freunde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Im Wald, im Wald da grabt mich ein,
Ganz stille, ohne Kreuz und Stein:
Denn was ihr thürmet, überschneyt
Und überrindet Winterszeit.
Und wann die Erde sich verjüngt,
[Sie Veilchen]1 meinem Hügel bringt.
Das freut [euch, Gute]2; freuet euch!
[Ist Alles doch]3 dem Todten gleich.
Doch nein, - denn eure Liebe spannt
Die Aeste in das Geisterland:
Und die euch führt zu meinem Grab,
Zieht mich gewaltiger herab.

Agli amici
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Nel bosco, nel bosco io sia seppellito,
senza lapidi o croci, in tutto segreto;
Perché ogni monumento che sarà costruito
d'inverno la neve lo avrà ricoperto.
E quando la terra ringiovanirà di nuovo
e la mia tomba sarà tutta fiorente
gioitene, amici, con animo lieto!
Ai morti tutto questo è indifferente.
Ma forse ho sbagliato, perché il vostro affetto
nel mondo degli spiriti i suoi rami estende,
e quando vi porta a visitare la mia tomba,
con più energia là sotto mi spinge.
