Recança
Language: Catalan (Català)
Qui sentís, renovellat,
per la bruixa entesa,
aquell gust precipitat
de la jovenesa;
pluja i vent arremorat,
i l’acàcia en tot esclat
i deixant per l’empedrat
florida estesa!
Ah, l’anar sota l’aiguat
com fent-li escomesa,
d’un sonet mig començat
en l’embrieguesa,
i amb paraigua foradat,
i la lluna pel forat,
i rient a mon costat
una noia encesa!
Qui sentís, renovellat,
per la bruixa entesa,
aquell gust precipitat
de la jovenesa!...

Regret
Language: English after the Catalan (Català)
Who could feel, renewed,
by the skilled witch,
that hasty zest
of the youth;
rain and roughening wind,
and the acacia in full bloom,
leaving on the pavement
a spread of flowers!
Ah, to walk under the rainstorm
as trying to defy it,
of a half-started sonnet
in the rapture,
and with a pierced umbrella,
and the moon through the hole,
and laughing at my side
a passionate girl!
Who could feel, renewed,
by the skilled witch,
that hasty zest
of the youth!...
