Der Feind

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Der Adler lauscht auf seinem Horst;
der Keiler rauscht zur Kesselforst;
das Kätzlein klinkt am Ast sich fest;
der Wolf, er hinkt zum Felsennest;
das Dammwild streicht zum Dickicht ein;
der Fuchs still schleicht zum Bau hinein;
aufstutzt, hinflitzt das scheue Reh; 
die Löffel spitzt der Has' im Klee;
die Ente duckt im düstern Rohr,
das Fischlein guckt nicht mehr hervor;
und Alles schweigt im Hinterhalt!
Der Mensch sich zeigt, geht durch den Wald.

L'enemic

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

L’àguila sotja des del seu niu;
el senglar bramula vers el seu amagatall al bosc;
el gat s’arrapa fort a la branca;
el llop, ell ranqueja vers la llobera al rocam;
la daina s’esquitlla vers la malesa;
la guineu es fica dins del seu cau;
alertat, l’espantadís cabirol s’escapoleix;
la llebre aixeca les orelles als trèvols;
l’ànec s’arrauleix en el canyís ombrívol;
el peix ja no treu el cap de l’aigua;
i a l’aguait, tots callen!
Apareix l’home, camina pel bosc.
