Advent
Language: Catalan (Català)
Sota el ras fred la llavor va formant-se,
terra morada color d’Advent.
Passen els vents, i el silenci del vent
vibra sonor de desig i d’esperança.
D’una gran pau es dilata l’anhel
d’on es recull el repòs de l’anyada.
Oh nit que escoltes! S’atansa l’albada
que et porta el Crist com rosada del cel!

Advent
Language: English after the Catalan (Català)
Below the cold ground the seed is taking form,
the earth is purple, the colour of Advent.
Winds blow past and the silence of the wind
vibrates resonant of desire and hope.
Out of a great peace expands the yearning
wherein the season’s rest is collected.
Oh, night that listens! The dawn that Christ
is bringing to you approaches like heavenly dew!
