Weit in nebelgrauer Ferne
Liegt mir das vergang'ne Glück,
Nur an Einem schönen Sterne
Weilt voll Liebe noch der Blick,
Aber wie der Sternen Pracht
Bleibt es nur ein Schein der Nacht.

Deckte dir der lange Schlummer,
Dir der Tod die Augen zu,
Dich besäße noch mein Kummer,
Meinem Herzen lebtest du.
Aber ach! du lebst im Licht,
Meiner Liebe lebst du nicht.

Lluny, en la gris i boirosa distància

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Wolf Ferrari)

See original

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

Lluny, en la gris i boirosa distància
rau la meva felicitat perduda,
tan sols en una formosa estrella
roman encara amorós el meu esguard.
Però, com l’esplendor d’un estel,
és només una lluïssor de la nit.

Encara que el son etern t’embolcallés
i la mort et tanqués els ulls,
la meva pena et posseiria,
viuries en el meu cor.
Però, ai! Tu vius en la llum,
no vius per al meu amor.
