Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Du heilig, glühend Abendroth!
Der Himmel will in Glanz zerrinnen,
So scheiden [Märtyrer]1 von hinnen
Holdlächelnd in dem Liebestod.
Des Aufgangs Berge still und grau,
Am Grab des Tags die hellen Gluten,
Der Schwan auf purpurrothen Fluten,
Und jeder Halm im Silberthau!
O Sonne, Gottesstrahl, du bist
Nie herrlicher, als im [Entfliehen]2,
Du willst uns gern [hinüber ziehen]3,
Wo deines Glanzes Urquell ist.

Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Tu, sagrada, incandescent vermellor del capvespre!
El cel es vol fondre en el teu esclat,
així marxen els màrtirs lluny d’aquí
somrient benèvols tot morint d’amor.
Les muntanyes, silents i grises a l’alba,
són lluminoses i roents quan mor el dia,
el cigne en les aigües color de porpra,
i cada tija en la rosada d’argent!
Oh sol, llum divina, mai ets
tan esplèndid que com quan et retires,
de grat voldries arrossegar-nos cap allà,
vers la deu primigènia de la teva esplendor.
