Our translations: CAT FRE ITA SPA

Tenor-Solo
 Die Peri tritt mit schüchterner Gebärde
 Vor Edens Tor,
 Im Herzen Himmelshoffnungsglück:
 Ob sich die Pforte öffnen werde,
 Sie fragt's mit stummem Liebesblick.

Der Engel
 Gern grüßen wir, die so gegangen
 Den Heldentod fürs Vaterland.
 Doch sieh, noch weicht der eh'rne Riegel nicht
 Viel heil'ger muß die Gabe sein,
 Die dich zum Tor des Lichts läßt ein!

Engel-Chor
 Viel heil'ger muß die Gabe sein,
 Die dich zum Tor des Lichts läßt ein!

La Peri si avvicina timidamente

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Tenore solo
 La Peri si avvicina timidamente
 alle porte dell'Eden,
 con il cuore felice per la speranza del cielo:
 che possa aprirsi la porta del cielo,
 ella chiede con muto sguardo amoroso.
 
L'angelo
 Volentieri salutiamo, quanti sono andati incontro
 a una morte eroica per la loro patria.
 E tuttavia, vedi, non cede il chiavistello di ferro,
 assai più sacro deve essere il dono
 che ti farà schiudere le porte della luce!

Coro di angeli
 Assai più sacro deve essere il dono
 che ti farà schiudere le porte della luce!
