Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Brausten alle Berge,
Sauste rings der Wald, --
Meine jungen Tage,
Wo sind sie so bald?
Jugend, teure Jugend,
Flohest mir dahin;
O du holde Jugend,
Achtlos war mein Sinn!
Ich verlor dich leider,
Wie wenn einen Stein
Jemand von sich schleudert
In die Flut hinein.
Wendet sich der Stein auch
Um in tiefer Flut,
Weiss ich, dass die Jugend
Doch kein Gleiches tut.

Joventut perduda
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Les muntanyes bramulaven totes,
tot a l’entorn remorejaven els boscos,
els dies de la meva jovenesa,
on han marxat tan aviat?
Joventut, preciosa joventut,
has fugit lluny de mi;
oh, joventut encisadora,
despreocupat era el meu esperit!
Malauradament t’he perdut,
com quan algú
llança una pedra
dins del riu.
De vegades una pedra pot tornar
a sortir de les aigües profundes,
però jo sé ben bé que
la joventut mai podrà fer el mateix.
