Ich trage meine Minne

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA JPN

Ich trage meine Minne 
Vor Wonne stumm
Im Herzen und im Sinne 
Mit mir herum.
Ja, daß ich dich gefunden, 
Du liebes Kind,
Das freut mich alle [Stunde]¹, 
Die mir beschieden sind.

[Ob]² auch der Himmel trübe, 
Kohlschwarz die Nacht,
Hell leuchtet meiner Liebe 
Goldsonn'ge Pracht.
Und liegt [die]³ Welt in Sünden, 
So tut mir's weh --
Die arge muß erblinden 
Vor deiner Unschuld Schnee.

Porto el meu amor

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

Porto el meu amor,
mut de goig,
al meu cor i al meu esperit,
sempre amb mi per tot arreu.
Sí, que t’hagi trobat,
a tu, estimada criatura,
m’alegra tots els dies
que m’estan concedits.

I encara que el cel estigui ennuvolat
i la nit negra com el carbó,
l’àuria esplendor com el sol del meu amor
brilla lluminosa.
I encara que el món resti en el pecat,
cosa que m’omple de tristor,
els malvats s’han de tornar cecs
davant el teu candor, pur com la neu.
