Von der stillen, von der heilgen Nacht,
Da die Blume seiner Liebe
Diese Welt zum Himmel mir gemacht.

Venus Mater
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Somia, somia, tu dolça vida meva,
en el cel que les flors porta.
Allà llueixen les flors que viuen
de la cançó que la teva mare canta.

Somia, somia, poncella del meu patiment
en el dia que les flors brotaren,
en la clara i florida matinada
quan la teva animeta s'obrí al món.

Somia, somia, flor de la meva vida
en la tranquil·la, en la sagrada nit,
en la que la flor del seu amor
convertí aquest món en un cel.
