A fact from Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (J. C. F. Bach) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 December 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Is the English version of this choral really entitled Wake, o wake and hear the voices ? This is not quite the translation of Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Literally translated it would be Wake up, the voice calls us. --Furfur ⁂ Diskussion18:46, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Depends. The latter is closer to the meaning, the other is what a publishers offers to match the syllable count. As the two linked articles (hymn and cantata) offer the other, I liked the diversity. Only rarely is there one and only one possible translation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:30, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
