Der Frühling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA
Es lockt und säuselt um den Baum:
Wach auf aus deinem Schlaf und Traum,
Der Winter ist zerronnen.
Da schlägt er frisch den Blick empor,
Die Augen sehen hell hervor
Ans goldne Licht der Sonnen.

Es zieht ein Wehen sanft und lau,
Geschaukelt in dem Wolkenbau
Wie Himmelsduft hernieder.
Da werden alle Blumen wach,
Da tönt der Vögel schmelzend Ach,
Da kehrt der Frühling wieder.

Es zuckt und bebt im Blute was,
Die Wimpern werden tränennaß,
Es pochet leis im Herzen.
O Mensch, du fühlest Frühlingslust,
Und Liebe hebet deinen Ernst,
Und wecket süße Schmerzen!

Es weht der Wind den Blütenstaub
Von Kelch zu Kelch, von Laub zu Laub,
Durch Tage und durch Nächte.
Flieg auch, mein Herz, und flattre fort,
Such hier ein Herz und such es dort,
Du triffst vielleicht das Rechte.

La primavera
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Te atrae y susurra alrededor del árbol:
«Despierta de tu sopor y tu sueño,
el invierno se ha derretido».
Luego alza su fresca mirada,
sus ojos observan límpidos
a la dorada luz del sol.

Se levanta una suave y tibia brisa que,
meciéndose entre la masa de nubes,
desciende como una fragancia celestial.
Entonces despiertan todas las flores.
Entonces entonan lánguidas quejas los pájaros,
Entonces retorna la primavera una vez más.

En la sangre palpita y se estremece algo
que hace que las pestañas se humedezcan con lágrimas,
algo late débilmente en el corazón.
¡Oh hombre, sientes el gozo primaveral
y el amor propicia tu gravedad
y te suscita dulces penas!

El viento porta el polen
de cáliz en cáliz, de fronda a fronda,
durante los días y las noches.
Vuela tú también, corazón mío, y aletea lejos.
Busca un corazón aquí y allá.
Quizá encuentres el adecuado.
