Knabentod

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT FRE

Vom Berg, der Knab, 
Der zieht hinab
  In heißen Sommertagen;
Im Tannenwald, 
Da macht er halt,
  Er kann sich kaum noch tragen.

Den wilden Bach, 
Er sieht ihn jach
  In's Thal herunter schäumen;
Ihn dürstet sehr, 
Nun noch viel mehr:
  Nur hin! Wer würde säumen!

Da ist die Flut! 
O, in der Glut,
  Was kann so köstlich blinken!
Er schöpft und trinkt, 
Er stürzt und sinkt
  Und trinkt noch im Versinken!

Das Lied ist aus, 
Und macht's dir Graus: 
  Wer wird's im Winter singen! 
Zur Sommerzeit 
Bist du bereit, 
  Dem Knaben nachzuspringen.

La mort del noi

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

El noi davalla 
de la muntanya
en els dies calorosos d’estiu;
al bosc d’avets 
hi fa una parada,
a penes pot continuar més lluny.

De sobte veu 
un rierol feréstec
que escumeja vers la vall,
ell està assedegat, 
ara més que mai:
cap allà! Qui podria vacil·lar!

Allà n’hi ha d’aigua! 
Oh, amb aquesta calor
què podria brillar de forma més exquisida!
N’agafa amb les mans i beu, 
cau i s’enfonsa
i va bevent encara mentre s’ofega.
