Komm, süßer Tod

Language: German 

Komm, süßer Tod,
Komm, selige Ruh,
Komm, führ mich in Friede,
Weil ich der Welt bin müde!
Ach komm, ich wart' auf dich,
Komm bald und führe mich,
Drück' mir die Augen zu,
Komm, selige Ruh.

Vieni, morte dolce

Language: Italian 

Vieni, morte dolce,
vieni, riposo beato,
vieni, conducimi in pace,
del mondo mi sono stancato!
Ah vieni, sono in attesa,
vieni, portami ora con te,
sugli occhi miei la tua mano posa,
riposo beato, discendi su me.
