Weinend seh' ich in die Nacht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Weinend seh' ich in die Nacht,
Weinend träum' ich, bis es tagt,
Und doch kennt mein frommes Herz
Keinen Wunsch und keinen Schmerz,
Warum ich weine.

Grosse Nacht, du bist so weis,
Nachtwind, flüst're du mir leis',
Öffnet euren stummen Mund,
Blumen, Blumen, tut mir kund,
Warum ich weine.

Plorant, esguardo la nit

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

Plorant, esguardo la nit,
plorant, somio fins que clareja el dia,
i, tanmateix, el meu cor pietós no coneix
cap desig ni cap dolor
per els que hauria de plorar.

Nit grandiosa, tu ets tan sàvia,
vent de la nit, digues-m’ho fluixet a cau d’orella,
obriu la vostra callada boca,
flors, flors, feu-me saber
perquè jo ploro.
