Die Rose
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Es lockte schöne Wärme,
Mich an das Licht zu wagen,
Da brannten wilde Gluthen:
Das muß ich ewig klagen.
Ich konnte lange blühen
In milden heitern Tagen;
Nun muß ich frühe welken,
Dem Leben schon entsagen. 
Es kam die Morgenröthe,
Da ließ ich alles Zagen
Und öffnete die Knospe,
Wo alle Reize lagen.
Ich konnte freundlich duften,
Und meine Krone tragen,
Da ward zu heiß die Sonne,
Die muß ich drum verklagen.
Was soll der milde Abend?
Muß ich nun traurig fragen.
Er kann mich nicht mehr retten,
Die Schmerzen nicht verjagen.
Die Röthe ist verblichen,
Bald wird mich Kälte nagen.
Mein kurzes junges Leben
Wollt' ich noch sterbend sagen.

La rosa
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
La calor joliu em temptava
de gosar sortir a la llum,
on la xardor abrusava ferotge:
d’això m’haig de plànyer eternament,
hagués pogut florir per més temps
si els dies haguessin estat temperats i serens;
ara m’haig de marcir més aviat,
renunciar ja a la vida.
L’aurora arribà,
llavors vaig deixar el titubeig
obrint la poncella
on rauen tots els meus encants.
Podia bonament fer olor
i portar la meva corona,
però llavors el sol esdevingué massa calent,
d’això l’haig d’acusar.
De què em serví el temperat capvespre?
Ara tristament ho haig de preguntar.
Ell ja no em pot salvar,
ni fer marxar els meus dolors.
La vermellor s’ha descolorit,
aviat el fred em rosegarà.
Tot morint, vull encara parlar
de la meva curta, jove vida.
