Gottes ist der Orient!
Gottes ist der Okzident!
Nord und südliches Gelände
Ruht im Frieden seiner Hände.

Er, der einzige Gerechte,
Will für jedermann das Rechte.
Sei von seinen hundert Namen
Dieser hochgelobet! Amen.

Mich verwirren will das Irren;
Doch du weißt mich zu entwirren,
Wenn ich handle, wenn ich dichte,
Gib du meinem Weg die Richte!

Talismà

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

Déu és l'orient!
Déu és l'occident!
Terres de nord i sud
Reposen en pau a les seves mans.

Ell, l'únic jutge,
Vol per a cadascú el convenient.
Sigui dels seus centenars de noms,
Aquesta elevada promesa! Amen.

Els errors em desconcerten,
Bé tu saps desenredar la meva confusió
Quan actuo, quan escric versos,
Ensenya'm el camí correcte!
