Dreifach ist der Schritt der Zeit

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Dreyfach ist der Schritt der Zeit,
Zögernd kommt die Zukunft hergezogen,
Pfeilschnell ist das Jetzt entflogen,
Ewig still steht die Vergangenheit.

Keine Ungeduld beflügelt
Ihren Schritt, wenn sie verweilt.
Keine Furcht, kein Zweifel zügelt
Ihren Lauf, wenn sie enteilt.
Keine Reu, kein Zaubersegen
Kann die stehende bewegen.

Triple és el pas del temps

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Triple és el pas del temps,
el futur arriba hesitant,
el present s’enfuig veloç com una fletxa,
el present resta fermat per sempre.

Cap mena d’impaciència dóna ales
al seu pas quan ell es demora.
Cap temença, cap dubte refrena
el seu curs quan ell passa corrents.
Cap recança, cap paraula màgica
el poden fer moure quan s’ha aturat.
