Plainte d'amour
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT
Quand d’amour ; qui sût me meurtrir
Mon cœur trouvera délivrance,
Quand enfin j’aurai l’assurance
De pouvoir mes larmes tarir,
Je regretterai l’attirance
Que j’avais rêvé d’attendrir.

J’ai maintes fois pensé mourir
De suprême désespérance !
Mais la puls légère apparence,
Qui semblait mon rêve fleurir,
Ravivait ma persévérance
Et m’encourageait à souffrir.

Je chéris bien trop ma souffrance
Pour en vouloir jamais guérir !
J’ai maintes fois pensé mourir
De suprême désespérance !
Mon cœur en eût eu délivrance ;
Mais d’amour, qui sut me meurtrir,
Je chéris bien trop ma souffrance
Pour en vouloir jamais guérir !

Plany d'amor
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the French (Français) 
Quan de l'amor; que sabé ferir-me
el meu cor trobarà alliberament,
quan finalment tingui la certesa
de poder eixugar les meves llàgrimes,
lamentaré l'atracció
que havia somiat entendrir.

He pensat sovint en morir
de desesperança suprema!
Però la més lleugera aparença,
que semblava fer florir el meu somni,
revifava la meva perseverança
i m’encoratjava a sofrir.

Estimo massa el meu patiment
Com per desitjar mai ser-ne guarit!
He pensat sovint a morir
de desesperança suprema!
El meu cor n’hagués tingut el deslliurament;
però de l'amor, que sabé ferir-me,
estimo massa el meu patiment
com per desitjar mai ser-ne guarit!
