Das Lied vom Reifen

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE

Seht meine lieben Bäume an,
Wie sie so herrlich stehn,
Auf allen Zweigen angethan
Mit Reiffen wunderschön!

Von unten an bis oben 'naus,
Auf allen Zweigelein,
Hängts weis und zierlich, zart und kraus,
Und kann nicht schöner seyn;

Und alle Bäume rund umher,
All' alle weit und breit,
Stehn da, geschmückt mit gleicher Ehr,
In gleicher Herrlichkeit.

La cançó del gebre

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Mireu els meus estimats arbres
que esplèndids estan,
revestits a cada branca
magníficament de gebre!

De baix a dalt, a totes les branques
hi ha gebre, blanc i delicat,
tendre i crespat,
i no podria ser més formós.

I tots els arbres a l’entorn
fins a l’extensa llunyania,
estan ornats amb la mateixa glòria,
amb la mateixa esplendor.
