Catalan (Català) translations of Drei Gesänge für Alt-Stimme, opus 17

by August Walter (1821 - 1896)

1. Die Himmelsthräne  [sung text not yet checked]
by August Walter (1821 - 1896), "Die Himmelsthräne", op. 17 (Drei Gesänge für Alt-Stimme) no. 1, published 1862 [ alto and piano ], Leipzig, Kistner
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Himmel hat eine Thräne geweint,
Die hat sich in's Meer [zu verlieren]1 gemeint.
Die Muschel kam und schloß sie ein:
Du sollst nun meine Perle sein.
Du sollst nicht vor den Wogen zagen,
Ich will hindurch dich ruhig tragen.
O du mein Schmerz, du meine Lust,
Du Himmelsthrän' in meiner Brust!
Gieb, Himmel, daß ich in reinem Gemüthe
Den reinsten deiner Tropfen hüte.

1 Schumann: "verlieren"

by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)
1.
Language: Catalan (Català) 
El cel deixà caure una llàgrima
i ella es cregué perduda en el mar.
La petxina vingué i la capturà:
tu ara seràs la meva perla.
No hauràs de tenir por de les onades,
jo et portaré al seu través.
Oh tu, el meu dolor, la meva joia,
tu llàgrima del cel en el meu pit!
Permet, oh cel, que jo, amb ànim pur,
guardi la més pura de les teves gotes.

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was wecken aus dem Schlummer mich
Für süße Klänge doch?
O Mutter, sieh! wer mag es sein,
[In]1 später Stunde noch?

"Ich [höre nichts, ich sehe]2 nichts,
O schlummre fort so lind!
Man bringt dir keine Ständchen [jetzt]3,
Du armes, krankes Kind!"

[Es ist nicht irdische Musik,
Was]4 mich so freudig macht;
Mich rufen Engel mit Gesang,
O Mutter, gute Nacht!

2.
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Què són aquests dolços sons
que em desperten de la meva dormida?
Oh mare, vés a veure qui pot ser
a aquesta hora tan tard.

“No sento res, no veig res,
oh, torna a dormir ben dolçament!
Ara ningú et canta una serenata,
a tu, pobre criatura malalta.”

No és una música terrenal
la que m’omple de joia;
amb cants, em criden els àngels,
oh mare, bona nit!

Dein Wille, Herr, geschehe!
Verdunkelt schweigt das Land,

Ich beug' im tiefsten Wehe
zum Staub mein Angesicht.
Dein Wille, Herr, geschehe!

3. La teva voluntat, Senyor!
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Senyor, que es faci la teva voluntat!
Enfosquida, la terra guarda silenci,
en el pas de la tempesta,
tremolant, veig la teva mà.
Oh, amb nosaltres pecadors, sigues
misericordiós en el teu judici!
En la més profunda aflicció
vinclo fins a la pols el meu rostre.
Senyor, que es faci la teva voluntat!
