L'hort
Language: Catalan (Català)
Entre mon hort i el teu
sols hi ha un mur de rosers rublerts de roses.
De què em deturareu,
guardianes tan dèbils com hermoses?
L’aimada ve amb pas lleu
portada per les ànsies amoroses:
prompte al pes de les nostres abraçades
sereu, roses, marcides i esfullades.
Mes, filles de l’Amor que tot ho anima
no heu pas de témer el nostre;
ella a mon rostre arrima
la seva cara que és germana vostra;
quan em diu que m’estima
un ruixat de petons li cau al rostre.
I en ses galtes llavors acolorades
enceses reixireu i més badades.

The garden
Language: English after the Catalan (Català)
Between my garden and yours,
there is only a fence of rosebush filled with roses.
Of what will you hinder me,
custodians, so frail as you are beautiful?
My beloved is coming at a gentle pace
carried forward by her yearning for love;
promptly, under the weight of our embraces,
roses, you will become withered and without petals.
Yet, daughters of Love that all enlivens,
you must not fear ours;
she brings close to mine
her face which is as if it were your sister;
when she tells me that she loves me,
a downpour of kisses falls on her face.
And on her cheeks, then blushed,
flared, you will thrive and blossom.
