Es wird dir sonderbar erscheinen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Es wird dir sonderbar erscheinen,
Daß ich zuweilen wie ein Knabe
Nicht schlafen kann vor lautem Weinen
Und bitterlich das Heimweh habe,
 
Und daß ich tagelang in Träumen
Hinschlendre mit geheimem Leid
An fremden, stillen Gartensäumen,
Gedenkend meiner Kinderzeit ...

Et semblarà estrany

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

Et semblarà estrany
que de vegades com un infant
per un fort plorar no pugui dormir
i pateixi amargament d’enyorança.

I que durant dies sencers, en somnis,
amb una pena secreta, vagaregi
a la vora de desconeguts, tranquils jardins
pensant en el temps de la meva joventut.
