Die Abendglocken

(Sung text for setting by E. Moór)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Die Abendglocken klangen
  Schon durch das stille Thal,
Da saßen wir zusammen
  Da droben wohl hundertmal.

Und unten war's so stille
  Im Lande weit und breit,
Nur über uns die Linde
  Rauscht' durch die Einsamkeit.

Was gehn die Glocken heute,
  Als ob ich weinen müßt'?
Die Glocken, die bedeuten
  Daß mein Lieb' gestorben ist!

Ich wollt', ich läg' begraben,
  Und über mir rauschte weit
Die Linde jeden Abend
  Von der schönen, alten Zeit!

Les campanades del capvespre

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Moór)

See original

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

Les campanades del capvespre sonaven
   ja a través de la tranquil·la vall,
quan sèiem tots dos junts
   allà dalt, a ben cert per centèsima vegada.

I allà baix tot era tan tranquil
   al camp llegües a la rodona,
tan sols el til·ler damunt nostre
   remorejava en la solitud.

Per què sonen avui les campanes
   com si jo hagués de plorar?
Les campanades signifiquen
   que la meva estimada és morta!

Voldria estar enterrat
   i que al meu damunt el til·ler
remoregés al lluny cada capvespre
   com en el vell, bon temps!
