Abendlied

(Sung text for setting by E. Ohlsen)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Es ist so still geworden,
Verrauscht des Abends Wehn,
Nun hört man aller Orten
Der Engel Füße gehn,
Rings in die Thäler senket
Sich Finsterniß mit Macht --
Wirf ab, Herz, was dich kränket
Und was dir bange macht!

Es ruht die Welt in Schweigen, 
Ihr Tosen ist vorbei,
Stumm ihrer Freude Reigen
Und stumm ihr Schmerzenschrei.
Hat Rosen sie geschenket,
Hat Dornen sie gebracht --
Wirf ab, Herz, was dich kränket
Und was dir bange macht! 

Und hast du heut gefehlet, 
O schaue nicht zurück;
Empfinde dich beseelet 
Von freier Gnade Glück.
Auch des Verirrten denket 
Der Hirt auf hoher Wacht --
Wirf ab, Herz, was dich kranket 
Und was dir bange macht! 

Nun stehn im Himmelskreise
Die Stern' in Majestät;
In gleichem festem Gleise
Der goldne Wagen geht.
Und gleich den Stürmen lenket
Er deinen Weg durch Nacht --
Wirf ab, Herz, was dich kränket,
Und was dir bange macht!

Cançó de capvespre

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Ohlsen)

See original

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

Tot és tan tranquil,
l’oreig del capvespre s’ha calmat,
ara se senten per tot arreu
els passos dels àngels,
la foscúria davalla poderosament
al voltant de les valls,
deixa estar, oh cor, el que t’amoïna
i el que et fa estar neguitós!

El món reposa en el silenci,
el seu brogit s’ha acabat,
mudes les seves alegres danses
i muts els seus crits de dolor.
Tant si t’ha ofert roses
o t’ha portat espines, 
deixa estar, oh cor, el que t’amoïna
i el que et fa estar neguitós!

I si avui has pecat,
no miris enrera;
considera’t vivificat
per la gràcia del lliure perdó.
El pastor que vigila allà dalt
pensa també en els extraviats,
deixa estar, oh cor, el que t’amoïna
i el que et fa estar neguitós!

Ara, a la volta del cel,
es veuen les estrelles en plena majestat;
per la mateixa via ferma
passa l’auri carruatge.
I com les estrelles, guia
el teu camí a través de la nit,
deixa estar, oh cor, el que t’amoïna
i el que et fa estar neguitós!
