Morgenrot
 (Sung text for setting by R. Strauss)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Dort, wo der Morgenstern hergeht
Und wo der Morgenwind herweht,
Dort wohnt, nach der mein Herz hinfleht.

Der Aufgang meiner Liebesnot,
Sie, meiner Hoffnung Freudenrot,
Mein süßes Leben, süßer Tod.

Es reicht dahin kein Blick von mir,
Doch an des Himmels lichter Zier
Seh' ich den Widerschein von ihr.

Das Morgenrot ist angefacht,
Weil sie vom Schlummer aufgewacht
Und hell den Himmel angelacht.

Die Luft des Aufgangs ist ihr Gruß,
Die Morgensonn' ihr Liebeskuß,
Der mir das Herz erschließen muß.

Sich dreh'n um's Haus, allwo sie wohnt,
Die Sonn' am Tag und nachts der Mond,
Und sind, so oft sie blickt, belohnt.

Die Himmel dreh'n um Liebe sich,
Die Liebe dreht sich nur um dich,
Und zu dir liebend wend' ich mich.

Du, leuchtend über Berg und Tal,
Von Haupt zu Füßen allzumal
Von Huld ein einz'ger Himmelsstrahl!

Albada
 (Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)
 See original
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Allà, on surt l'estel del matí
i des d'on bufa el vent matinal,
allà viu la que el meu cor implora.

Ella, la causa del meu amorós afany,
la meva esperança d'enrojolada alegria,
dolça vida meva, dolça mort.

No li arriba cap dels meus esguards
però, en el lluminós ornat del cel,
veig el seu reflex.

L'albada s'ha ablamat perquè
ella, del seu dormitar, ha despertat
i la claror del cel, riallera, ha mirat.

L'aire de l'albada és el seu salut,
el sol del matí, el seu bes d'amor
que a mi, m'ha d'esbadellar el cor.

Giren a l'entorn de la casa on viu
el sol de dia i de nit la lluna
i, quan ella els mira, són gratificats.

El cel gira a l'entorn de l'amor,
l'amor només gira al teu voltant
i jo, enamorat, cap a tu m'adreço.

Tu, resplendent damunt muntanyes i valls,
de cap a peus ensems
de gràcia, un únic raig del cel!
