Ruhe, meine Seele!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Nicht ein Lüftchen
Regt sich leise,
Sanft entschlummert
Ruht der Hain;
Durch der Blätter
Dunkle Hülle
Stiehlt sich lichter
Sonnenschein.
Ruhe, ruhe,
Meine Seele,
Deine Stürme
Gingen wild,
Hast getobt und
Hast gezittert,
Wie die Brandung,
Wenn sie schwillt.
Diese Zeiten
Sind gewaltig,
Bringen Herz
Und Hirn in Not --
Ruhe, ruhe,
Meine Seele,
Und vergiß,
Was dich bedroht!

Repose‑toi, mon âme
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Pas un souffle d'air
ne s'agite légèrement,
Le bois repose
endormi doucement :
À travers
la couverture sombre des feuilles
L'éclat d'un rayon
de soleil se glisse.
Repose-toi, repose-toi,
mon âme,
Tes tempêtes
étaient sauvages,
Ont fait rage
et tremblé
Comme le ressac
quand il se brise.
Ces temps
sont violents,
Apportent au cœur
et à l'esprit la détresse --
Repose-toi, repose-toi,
mon âme,
Et oublie
ce qui te menace.
