Frühling

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Es fahren leise junge Wolken durchs Blaue,
Kinder singen und Blumen lachen im Gras;
Meine müden Augen, wohin ich schaue,
Wollen vergessen, was ich in Büchern las.

Wahrlich alles Schwere, das ich gelesen,
Stäubt hinweg und war nur ein Winterwahn,
Meine Augen schauen erfrischt und genesen
Eine neue, erquellende Schöpfung an.

Aber was mir im eigenen Herzen geschrieben,
Von der Vergänglichkeit aller Schöne steht,
Ist von Frühling zu Frühling stehen geblieben,
Wird von keinem Winde mehr weggeweht.

Primavera

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

Joves núvols passen silents a través de l’atzur,
els infants canten i les flors somriuen a l’herbam;
els meus fatigats ulls, arreu on esguardo,
volen oblidar el que he llegit en els llibres.

En veritat, tota la pesantor que he llegit,
l’espolso, era tan sols una il·lusió d’hivern,
els meus ulls reconfortats i guarits veuen
una nova, sorgint creació.

Però el que està escrit al meu cor
sobre la fugacitat de la bellesa resta,
perdura de primavera a primavera,
i no se l’emportarà cap vent.
