Der Herbst ist angekommen, 
Es fallen die Blätter herab; 
Und Alles was lebt und blühet, 
Das muss einmal in's Grab. 

Die Wipfel des Waldes umflimmert 
Ein schmerzlicher Sonnenschein; 
Das mögen die letzten Küsse 
Des sterbenden Sommers seyn.

Mir ist, als müßt ich weinen 
Aus tiefster Seele Grund; 
Diese Sonne thut mich mahnen
An unsre Abschiedsstund'. 

Du musstest mich verlassen, 
Und wußte, du stürbest bald; 
Du warst der scheidende Sommer, 
Ich bin der sterbende Wald.

Walther von Goethe

El fullatge engroguit tremola

(Sung text translation for setting by W. Goethe)

See original

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

El fullatge engroguit tremola,
cauen les fulles seques;
ai, tot el que era encisador i adorable,
es marceix i s’enfonsa en la tomba.

El pampallugueig d’una llum de sol adolorida
envolta les capçades del bosc;
semblen els darrers besos
de l’estiu que se’n va.

Em vénen ganes de plorar
del més profund del meu cor;
aquesta imatge em recorda
l’hora de la nostra separació.

De tu, em vaig haver d’acomiadar,
sabent que aviat et moriries;
jo era l’estiu que se’n anava
i tu, el bosc malaltís.
