Comiat
Language: Catalan (Català)
El temps es curt; la joia breu.
Passa l’amor i obres la porta.
Passa de llarg: és tard, adéu.
Damunt tos anys queia la neu:
qui et feia adéu és una fulla morta.
El temps és curt i és breu el dol.
Torna l’amor: el vent espolsa la neu d’ahir.
El teu cor vol no recordar.
l un raig de sol damunt l’oblit és com damunt la molsa.

Farewell
Language: English after the Catalan (Català)
Time is short and joy is brief.
Love comes and you open the door.
It passes by: it is late, farewell.
Upon your years the snow was falling,
it was a dry leaf that said farewell.
Time is short and sorrow is brief.
Love returns: the wind brushes off yesterday’s snow.
Your heart does not wish to remember.
And a sunbeam shines on oblivion as though on moss.
