Hörst du nicht die Quellen gehen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Hörst du nicht die Quellen gehen Zwischen Stein und Blumen weit Nach den stillen Waldesseen, Wo die Marmorbilder stehen In der schönen Einsamkeit? Von den Bergen sacht hernieder, Weckend die uralten Lieder, Steigt die wunderbare Nacht, Und die Gründe glänzen wieder, Wie du's oft im Traum gedacht. Kennst die Blume du, entsprossen In dem mondbeglänzten Grund? Aus der Knospe, halb erschlossen, Junge Glieder blühend sprossen, Weiße Arme, roter Mund, Und die Nachtigallen schlagen, Und rings hebt es an zu klagen, Ach, vor Liebe todeswund, Von versunknen schönen Tagen -- Komm, o komm zum stillen Grund!

Màgia de la nit
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
No sents dollejar les fonts lluny, entre pedres i flors, vers els llacs tranquils del bosc on estan les estàtues de marbre en una preciosa solitud? A poc a poc, de les muntanyes, tot desvetllant antigues cançons, davalla la meravellosa nit i els fondals tornen a resplendir, com tu sovint havies somiat. Coneixes la flor que brota a la terra on brilla la lluna? De la poncella, mig desclosa, floreixen joves membres, braços blancs, boca vermella, i els rossinyols canten, i al voltant s'aixeca un plany, ai, d'amor ferit de mort, de passats dies feliços -- Vine, oh vine cap a la tranquil·la terra! Vine! Vine!
