Abril

Language: Catalan (Català)

Our translations: ENG SPA

Trèmula rialla de dia daurat;
ventijol qui calla en la immensitat.
Palpitant i jove majestat d' Abril;
vestidura nova del arbres.
Sotil diàfana i clara delícia del verd,
amb que el món, suara, de llum s'és cobert
quan el fontinyó tremolant,
sentia la seva frescor tornada alegria.
Pluja lenta i blanca de flors d'ametller,
qui cau de la branca quan l'oratjol ve.
Noies pels portals; finestra enramada;
festes matinals xopes de rosada.
I passa l'Abril damunt de poncelles,
xamós i gentil cantant caramelles.

Abril

Language: Spanish (Español) after the Catalan (Català)

 Temblorosa risa de día dorado;
 brisa que calla en la inmensidad.
 Palpitante y joven majestad de abril;
 vestidura nueva en los árboles.
 Sutil diáfana y clara delicia del verde,
 con la que el mundo, ahora, de luz se ha cubierto
 cuando la fuentecita temblando,
 sentía su frescura convertida en alegría.
 Lluvia lenta y blanca de flores de almendro,
 que cae de la rama cuando la brisa llega.
 Chicas por los portales; ventana enramada;
 fiestas matinales llenas de rocío.
 Y pasa abril por encima de capullos,
 encantador y gentil cantando canciones.
