J'y pense

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG

Ich kenn' ein Mägdelein
Mit blauem Augenschein; 
In dunklen Locken weht ihr Haar,
Ihr Lachen klingt so silberklar -- 
    J'y pense!

O Lust, o Scherz beim Mahl 
Im kühlen Gartensaal! 
Zuletzt Vielliebchen fanden wir:
Das eine mir, das and're dir:
    J'y pense! 

Grüngold'ger Nachmittag 
Im duft'gen Waldeshag! 
Ich nahm aus deiner Hand den Strauß,
Da lachtest du den Träumer aus:
    J'y pense! 

Ach! ich vergaß das Wort;
Nun klag' ich's immerfort.
Das Wort, es raubt mir Fried' und Ruh',
Vielliebes Mädchen, sagst auch du:
    J'y pense?

Conec una donzella
amb uns brillants ulls blaus;
en foscos rínxols onegen els seus cabells,
el seu riure sona tan clar i argentí –
       J’y pense!*

Oh goig, oh plasenteria en l’àpat
a la fresca glorieta del jardí!
Al final trobàrem deliciosos tastets:
un per a mi, l’altre per a tu:
        J’y pense!*

Tarda de daurada verdor
al flairós bosquet!
Vaig agafar el ram de la teva mà,
tu te’n rigueres del somiador:
       J’y pense!*

Ai! Vaig oblidar la paraula;
ara em planyo constantment.
La paraula, em roba la pau i el repòs,
molt estimada donzella, dius tu també:
       J’y pense?*

*Hi penso. En francès en el text original alemany.
