Unbewegte laue Luft

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE

Unbewegte laue Luft,
Tiefe Ruhe der Natur;
Durch die stille Gartennacht
Plätschert die Fontäne nur.
Aber im Gemüte schwillt
Heißere Begierde mir,
Aber in der Ader quillt
Leben und verlangt nach Leben.
Sollten nicht auch deine Brust
Sehnlichere Wünsche heben?
Sollte meiner Seele Ruf
Nicht die deine tief durchbeben?
Leise mit dem Ätherfuß
Säume nicht, daherzuschweben!
Komm, o komm, damit wir uns
Himmlische Genüge geben!

Aire tebi i encalmat

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

Add this translation to the Basket

Aire tebi i encalmat,
repòs profund de la natura;
en la nit silenciosa del jardí
només remoreja la font.
Però en el meu esperit creixen
desigs ardents,
però per les meves venes corre
la vida i demana més vida.
El teu pit també, no hauria
d’impulsar anhels vehements?
El crit de la meva ànima no hauria
de fer trontollar profundament la teva?
Suaument, amb peus eteris,
no triguis a surar cap a mi!
Vine, oh vine, perquè ens podem donar
una divina gaubança!
