Our translations: CAT DUT

Dem dunkeln Schoß der heilgen Erde
[Vertrauen wir der Hände Tat]¹
Vertraut der Sämann seine Saat
Und hofft, daß sie entkeimen werde
Zum Segen, nach des Himmels Rat.
Noch köstlicheren Samen bergen
Wir trauernd in der Erde Schoß,
Und hoffen, dass er aus den Särgen
Erblühen soll zu schönerm Los.

A les fosques entranyes de la sagrada terra

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

A les fosques entranyes de la sagrada terra
[...]
el sembrador confia la seva llavor
i espera, de fet, que germini
per beneir-la, segons el consell del cel.
Amb dol i tristor, hem enterrat algunes llavors, 
encara més exquisides, a les entranyes de la terra,
i esperem que floreixin fora dels taüts
per a un millor destí.
