Original text and translations

File:Flag-deu.png German text:

O schöne Nacht
am Himmel märchenhaft erglänzt der Mond in seiner ganzen Pracht;
Um ihn der kleinen Sterne liebliche Genossenschaft.
O schöne Nacht
Es schimmert hell der Tau am grünen Halm;
Mit Macht im Fliederbusche schlägt die Nachtigall.
Der Knabe schleicht zu seiner Liebsten sacht.
O schöne Nacht!

File:Flag-fra.png French translation:

Ô belle nuit!
Dans le ciel, la lune resplendit, féérique, dans toute sa gloire;
Autour d'elle, l'aimable compagnie des petites étoiles.
Ô belle nuit!
La rosée scintille sur les brins d'herbe;
Dans le bosquet de lilas, le rossignol lance son chant puissant;
Le jeune homme se glisse sans bruit jusqu'à sa bien-aimée.
Ô belle nuit!

(French translation by Claire Delavallée)

Oh beautiful night!
The moon is fabulously shining in its complete splendour in the sky;
Around it, sweet company of little stars.
Oh beautiful night!
The dew is shimmering brightly on the green blades of grass;
The nightingale sings ardently in the lilac bush, and
The boy steals softly to his lover.
Oh beautiful night!
