Heimat, Jugend, Lebens-Morgenstunde,
Hundertmal vergessen und verloren,
Kommt von dir mir eine späte Kunde
Hergeweht, so quillt's aus allen Tiefen,
Die verschüttet in der Seele schliefen,
Süßes Licht du, Quelle neugeboren!

Llum de l’albada

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Meyer-Olbersleben)

See original

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

Pàtria, joventut, l’albor de la vida,
cent vegades oblidada i perduda,
quan de tu m’arriben tardanes notícies,
com un hàlit, brolla de totes les fondàries
allò que reclòs dormia en l’ànima,
tu, dolça llum, font acabada de néixer.
