Jägers Abendlied

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Im Felde schleich' ich still und wild,
Gespannt mein Feuerrohr.
Da schwebt so licht dein liebes Bild
Dein süßes Bild mir vor.

Du wandelst jetzt wohl still und mild
Durch Feld und liebes Thal,
Und ach mein schnell verrauschend Bild
Stellt sich dir's nicht einmal?

 ... 

Mir ist es, denk' ich nur an dich,
Als in den Mond zu sehn;
Ein stiller Friede kommt auf mich,
Weiß nicht wie mir geschehn.

Cançó vespral del caçador

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

D’esquitllada, vaig per el camp, silenciós i feréstec,
el meu fusell carregat.
llavors apareix lluminosa la teva estimada imatge,
la teva dolça imatge davant meu.

Ara camines ben silent i dolça
pel camp i la plàcida vall,
i ai, la meva imatge que prest s’esvaeix, 
no se t’ha aparegut ni tan sols una vegada?

 ... 

Per a mi, només pensar en tu
és com mirar la lluna;
em davalla una pau serena
i no sé com això s’esdevé.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,2,4 of the original text.
