Zwei Geliebte, treu verbunden

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Zwei Geliebte, treu verbunden,
Gehen durch die Welt spazoren,
Jedes hat sein Herz verloren,
Doch das Andre hat's gefunden.

Jeder trägt die leichte Last
Wie die Uhr am Kettchen fast.
Also geht's auf Steg und Wegen
Ruhig fort mit gleichen Schlägen.

"Schau, die können's!" sagen ferne
An der Himmelshöh' die Sterne.
"Wer sind sie?" gleich schrei'n [sie]¹ da:
"Sigmund und Emilia!"

Dos amants, fidelment units

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

Dos amants, fidelment units,
es passegen per el món,
cadascú ha perdut el seu cor
però l’altre l’ha trobat.

Cadascú porta aquest lleuger llast
com el rellotge lligat a la seva cadena.
Així van passant per ponts i camins,
tranquils, al mateix pas.

“Mira, ho poden fer!” Diuen al lluny
les estrelles a dalt del cel.
“Qui són ells?” Criden prest allà:
“Sigmund i Emília!”
