Klage
 (Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE
Die Sonne steigt, die Sonne sinkt,
Des Mondes Wechselscheibe blinkt,
Des Aethers Blau durchwebt mit Glanz
Der Sterne goldner Reihentanz:

Doch es durchströmt der Sonne Licht,
Des Mondes lächelndes Gesicht,
Der Sterne Reigen, still und hehr,
Mit Hochgefühl dies Herz nicht mehr!

Die Wiese blüht, der Büsche Grün
Ertönt von Frühlingsmelodien,
Es wallt der Bach im Abendstral
Hinab ins hainumkränzte Thal:

Doch es erhebt der Haine Lied,
Die Au, die tausendfarbig blüht,
Der Erlenbach im Abendlicht
Wie vormals meine Seele nicht!

 ...

Plany
 (Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)
 See original
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
El sol surt, el sol es pon,
el disc canviant de la lluna resplendeix,
el blau de l’èter s’entrellaça amb l’esclat
de l’àuria dansa dels estels:

però ni la llum del sol,
ni el rostre somrient de la lluna,
ni la dansa dels estels, silent i sublim,
ja no omplen aquest cor amb entusiasme!

La prada floreix, el verd del matossar
ressona amb melodies primaverals,
el rierol borbolla a la llum del capvespre,
cap a baix, vers la vall coronada de boscatges:

però el cant dels boscos,
la prada que floreix amb mil colors,
el rierol entre la verneda a la llum del capvespre,
ja no enalteixen la meva ànima com abans!

 ...
