Ich such' im Schnee vergebens
Nach ihrer Tritte Spur,
Wo sie an meinem Arme 
 Durchstrich die grüne Flur.

Ich will den Boden küssen,
Durchdringen Eis und Schnee
Mit meinen heißen Thränen,
Bis ich die Erde seh'.

Wo find' ich eine Blüthe,
Wo find' ich grünes Gras?
Die Blumen sind erstorben,
Der Rasen sieht so blaß.

Soll denn kein Angedenken
Ich nehmen mit von hier?
Wenn meine Schmerzen schweigen,
Wer sagt mir dann von ihr?

Mein Herz ist wie erstorben,
Kalt starrt ihr Bild darin:
Schmilzt je das Herz mir wieder,
Fließt auch ihr Bild dahin.

Convertit en gel

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Inútilment cerco
les seves petjades en la neu,
 Aquí, on sovint passejarem
tots dos per els camps. 

Jo vull besar el sòl,
i, amb les meves llàgrimes ardents,
penetrar dins el gel i la neu,
fins que pugui veure la terra. 

On puc trobar un rebrot,
on puc trobar verd herbatge?
Les flors estan mortes
la gespa ha empal·lidit. 

No hi ha doncs cap record,
que em pugui endur d'aquí?
Quan els meus dolors callin,
qui em parlarà d'ella? 

El meu cor s'ha convertit en gel,
i a dins hi ha la seva imatge erta;
si mai el meu cor es torna a fondre,
la imatge fugirà per sempre.
