Catalan (Català) translation of Säusle, liebe Myrte!

by Richard Georg Strauss (1864 - 1949), "Säusle, liebe Myrte!", op. 68 (Sechs Lieder nach Gedichten von Clemens Brentano) no. 3 (1918-1919)

Note: this is a translation of one multi-text setting.

Säus'le, liebe Myrthe!
Wie still ist's in der Welt,
Der Mond, der Sternenhirte
Auf klarem Himmelsfeld,
Treibt schon die Wolkenschafe
Zum Born des Lichtes hin,
Schlaf, mein Freund, o schlafe,
Bis ich wieder bei dir bin!

Säus'le, liebe Myrthe!
Und träum' im Sternenschein,
Die Turteltaube girrte
Auch ihre Brut schon ein.
Still ziehn die Wolkenschafe
Zum Born des Lichtes hin,
Schlaf, mein Freund, o schlafe,
Bis ich wieder bei dir bin!

Hörst du, wie die Brunnen rauschen?
Hörst du, wie die Grille zirpt?
Stille, stille, laß uns lauschen,
Selig, wer in Träumen stirbt;
Selig, wen die Wolken wiegen,
Wenn der Mond ein Schlaflied singt;
O! wie selig kann der fliegen,
Dem der Traum den Flügel schwingt,
Daß an blauer Himmelsdecke
Sterne er wie Blumen pflückt;
Schlafe, träume, flieg, ich wecke
Bald dich auf und bin beglückt!

Xiuxiueja, murtra estimada!
Quina pau hi ha al món,
la lluna, pastora de les estrelles
als lluminosos camps del cel,
ja porta el ramat de núvols
a la font de la llum,
dorm, amic meu, oh dorm
fins que jo torni al teu costat!

Xiuxiueja, murtra estimada!
I somia a la llum de les estrelles,
parrupant, la tórtora
ja ha cridat la seva niuada.
Silent, el ramat de núvols està anant
vers la font de la llum,
dorm, amic meu, oh dorm
fins que jo torni al teu costat!

Sents com mormola la font?
Sents com canten els grills?
Silenci, silenci, escoltem,
feliç qui mor en els seus somnis,
feliç qui és bressolat pels núvols,
quan la lluna canta una cançó de bressol;
oh! Que feliç pot volar
a qui el somni dóna ales,
perquè a la blava volta del cel,
pugui collir estrelles com si fossin flors;
dorm, somia, vola, jo et despertaré
aviat i m’ompliré de goig!
