Ach könnt' ich wissen das eine Wort,
Dass du mir zugethan:
Ich säng' es hinaus in Einem fort

Erhellt die Welt allein.

La sola paraula

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

Ai, si pogués saber la sola paraula
que no m’has dit:
la cantaria incessantment enllà,
vers l’ample trajectòria de les estrelles.
“Ella m’estima!”

Escolteu-la, vosaltres, estrelles al dellà!
Quina raó té encara la vostra resplendor?
“Ella m’estima!” Aquesta sola paraula
il·lumina tot l’univers.
“Ella m’estima.”
