Leise Töne der Brust, geweckt vom Odem der Liebe,
  Hauchet zitternd hinaus, ob sich euch öff'ne ein Ohr,
Oeffn' ein liebendes Herz, und wenn sich keines euch öffnet, 
  Trag' ein Nachtwind euch seufzend in meines zurück.

Vetlla de nit I

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

Sons delicats de l’ànima, inspirats per l’hàlit de l’amor,
alenen trèmuls cap enfora, si obriu una orella,
obriu un cor amorós; i si cap d’ells s’obre per a vosaltres,
que me’ls retorni sospirant el vent de la nit.
