Les roses pleurent

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT ENG

Les roses ont ce soir pleuré dans le jardin ;
Leur parfum était triste et tristes leurs corolles,
Peut-être qu’un passant aura dit ces paroles :
“Toutes se faneront demain !”

Aussi comme ce soir leur veille est douloureuse !
Elles tremblent de s’endormir,
Craignent, toutes peureuses,
Que ce dernier sommeil les vienne en sevelir !

Leur tige s’alourdit de tristesse pesante,
Des larmes de la nuit leur pauvre cœur est plein,
Chaque fleur prend des airs d’agonisante.
Les roses ont ce soir pleuré dans le jardin !

Les roses ploren

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Les roses han plorat aquesta nit al jardí;
El seu perfum era trist i tristes les seves corol·les,
Potser que un vianant hagués dit aquestes paraules:
«Totes es marciran demà!»

I així, com de dolorosa és la seva vetlla aquest vespre!
Tremolen pensant que s'adormiran,
Tement, totes porugues,
Que aquest darrer son les vingui a sepultar!

Les seves tiges s’afeixuguen amb una pesant tristor,
Els seus pobres cors són plens de les llàgrimes de la nit,
Cada flor té un aspecte agonitzant.
Les roses han plorat aquesta nit al jardí!
