Die Primeln blühn und grüßen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT FRE

«Die Primeln blühn und grüßen
so lieblich mir zu Füßen,
die Amsel singt so laut.
Die Sonne scheint so helle --
nur ich weiß eine Stelle,
dahin kein Himmel blaut.»
 
-- Feins Kind, mußt nicht so sagen!
Es bringt der Himmelswagen
auch deiner Brust den Tag.
Es wird auch Deine Seele
der lieben Vogelkehle
gleichtun mit lautem Schlag.
 
«Die Primeln blühn und grüßen
so lieblich mir zu Füßen,
die Amsel singt so laut.
die Sonne scheint so helle --.
Mein freundlicher Geselle,
mir ward viel Leid vertraut.»

Les prímules floreixen i em saluden

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

« Les prímules floreixen i em saluden
tan gentilment als peus,
la merla canta tan fort.
El sol brilla tan lluminós - -
només jo conec un lloc
on cap cel hi blaveja.»

- - Xamós infant, això no ho has de dir!
L'Óssa Major porta el dia
també al teu cor.
La teva ànima fins i tot
igualarà l'estimada gorja de l'ocell
amb sorollós refilet.

« Les prímules floreixen i em saluden
tan gentilment als peus,
la merla canta tan fort.
El sol brilla tan lluminós - -
Estimat company meu,
molt sofriment m'ha estat confiat.»
