Liebesbotschaft
 (Sung text for setting by R. Schumann)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
  Wolken, die ihr nach Osten eilt,
Wo die eine, die Meine weilt,
All meine Wünsche, mein Hoffen und Singen
Sollen auf eure Flügel sich schwingen,
    Sollen euch Flüchtige
    Zu ihr lenken,
    Daß die Züchtige
Meiner in Treuen mag gedenken!

  Singen noch Morgenträume sie ein,
Schwebet leise zum Garten hinein,
Senket als Tau euch in schattige Räume,
Streuet Perlen auf Blumen und Bäume,
    Daß der Holdseligen, 
    Kommt sie gegangen,
    All'  die fröhlichen 
Blüten sich öffnen mit lichterem Prangen!

 ... 

  Und am Abend, in stiller Ruh'
Breitet der sinkenden Sonne euch zu!
Mögt mit Purpur und Gold euch malen,
Mögt in dem Meere von Gluten und Strahlen
    Leicht sich schwingende 
    Schifflein fahren,
    Daß sie singende 
Engel glaubet auf euch zu gewahren.

  Ja, wohl möchten es Engel sein,
Wär'  mein Herz gleich ihrem rein;
All' meine Wünsche, mein Hoffen und Singen
Zieht ja dahin auf euren Schwingen,
    Euch, ihr Flüchtigen, 
    Hinzulenken
    Zu der Züchtigen,
Der ich einzig nur mag gedenken!

Missatge d'amor
 (Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)
 See original
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Núvols que correu vers llevant,
allà on viu la que és meva,
tots els meus desigs, afanys i els meus cants
s'enlairaran damunt les vostres ales,
vosaltres, fugissers,
els heu de conduir vers ella,
per què el meu cast amor
pugui pensar fidelment en mi!

Somnis del matí, canteu-li encara,
voletegeu suaument pel jardí,
davalleu com rosada als espais ombrívols,
escampeu perles damunt arbres i flors,
per què allà on ella passi,
la meva encisadora,
s'obrin totes les alegres poncelles
amb lluminosa esplendor!

 ... 

I al capvespre, en silenciosa calma,
esteneu-vos vers el sol ponent!
Que ell us pugui pintar amb tons daurats i púrpura,
que en el mar ple de fulgor i esclat,
navegui lleugera
una barqueta balandrejant,
que siguin àngels cantant 
el que ella cregui veure en vosaltres.

Sí, podrien ser ben bé àngels
si el meu cor fos tan pur com el seu;
tots els meus desigs, afanys i els meu cants
s'envolen damunt les vostres ales,
conduïu-los vosaltres, fugissers,
vers el meu cast amor
per què jo pugui pensar només en ella.
