Wie sollten wir geheim sie halten

(Sung text for setting by R. Strauss)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Wie sollten wir geheim sie halten,
Die Seligkeit, die uns erfüllt?
Nein, bis in seine tiefsten Falten
Sei Allen unser Herz enthüllt!

Wenn Zwei in Liebe sich gefunden,
Geht Jubel hin durch die Natur,
In längern wonnevollen Stunden
Legt sich der Tag auf Wald und Flur.

Selbst aus der Eiche morschem Stamm,
Die ein Jahrtausend überlebt,
Steigt neu des Wipfels grüne Flamme
Und rauscht von Jugendlust durchbebt.

Zu höherm Glanz und Dufte brechen
Die Knospen auf beim Glück der Zwei,
Und süßer rauscht es in den Bächen,
Und reicher blüht und reicher glänzt der Mai.

Com hauríem de mantenir en secret

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)

See original

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

Com hauríem de mantenir en secret
la felicitat que ens emplena?
No, que fins als seus plecs més profunds,
el nostre cor sigui mostrat a tothom!

Quan dos s’han trobat en l’amor,
la joia es mou a través de la natura,
i en llargues hores plenes de goig,
el dia s’estén damunt boscos i camps.

Àdhuc del tronc corcat del roure
que ha sobreviscut un mil•lenari,
puja de nou del brancam la verda flama
i remoreja de goig i jovenesa sacsejat.

Amb més gran esplendor i flaire s’obren
les poncelles davant la felicitat de la parella,
i més suaus mormolen els rierols,
i més abundós floreix i brilla el mes de maig.
