Où vas‑tu, souffle d'aurore
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT
Où vas-tu, souffle d'aurore,
Vent de miel qui vient d'éclore,
Fraîche haleine d'un beau jour ?
Où vas-tu, brise inconstante,
Quand la feuille palpitante
Semble frissonner d'amour ?

Est-ce au fond de la vallée,
Dans la cime échevelée
D'un saule où le ramier dort ?
Poursuis-tu la fleur vermeille,
Ou le papillon qu'éveille
Un matin de flamme et d'or ?

Va plutôt, souffle d'aurore,
Bercer l'âme que j'adore ;
Porte à son lit embaumé
L'odeur des bois et des mousses,
Et quelques paroles douces
Comme les roses de mai.

On vas, alè d’aurora
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the French (Français) 
On vas, alè d’aurora,
vent de mel que acaba de descloure’s,
fresc hàlit d’un bell jorn?
On vas, oreig inconstant,
quan la fulla palpitant
sembla tremolar d’amor?

Potser al fons de la vall,
al capcer esbullat
d’un salze on dorm el tudó?
Encalces la flor vermella,
on la papallona es desperta
per el matí de flama i d’or?

Vés més aviat, alè d’aurora,
a bressolar l’ànima que jo adoro;
porta al seu llit flairejant
l’olor dels boscos i les molses,
i qualques paraules dolces
com les roses de maig.
