Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Cidli, du weinest, und ich schlummre sicher,
Wo im Sande der Weg verzogen fortschleicht;
Auch wenn stille Nacht ihn umschattend decket,
Schlummr' ich ihn sicher.
Wo er sich endet, wo ein Strom das Meer wird,
Gleit' ich über den Strom, der sanfter aufschwillt;
Denn, der mich begleitet, der Gott gebots ihm!
Weine nicht, Cidli.

Cidli, you are weeping, and I am sound...
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Cidli, you are weeping, and I am sound asleep,
Where the path winds forward in the sand;
Even when the silent night shrouds the path in shadows,
I remain deeply asleep.
Where it ends, where a river becomes the sea,
I will glide over the river that swells so smoothly;
For it is my companion, as God has commanded.
Do not weep, Cidli!
