Keine Stimme hör' ich schallen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Keine Stimme hör' ich schallen,
Keinen Schritt auf dunkler Bahn;
Selbst der Himmel hat die schönen
Hellen Aeuglein zugethan.
 
Ich nur wache, süßes Leben,
Schaue sehnend in die Nacht,
Bis dein Stern in öder Ferne
Lieblich leuchtend mir erwacht.
 
Ach nur einmal, nur verstohlen
Dein geliebtes Bild zu sehn,
Wollt' ich gern [im]1 Sturm und Wetter
Bis zum späten Morgen stehn.
 
Seh' ich's nicht [schon]2 ferne leuchten?
Naht es nicht schon nach und nach?
Ach, und freundlich hör' ich's flüstern:
Sieh, der Freund ist auch noch wach.
 
Süßes Wort, geliebte Stimme,
Der mein Herz [entgegenschlägt]3!
Tausend sel'ge Liebesbilder
Hat dein Hauch mir aufgeregt.
 
Alle Sterne seh' ich glänzen
Auf der [dunkelblauen]4 Bahn,
Und im Herzen hat und droben
Sich der Himmel aufgethan.
 
Holder Nachhall, wiege freundlich
Jetzt mein Haupt in milde Ruh,
Und noch oft, ihr Träume, lispelt
Ihr geliebtes Wort mir zu.

A mitjanit 
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
No sento ressonar cap veu,
ni cap pas en el fosc camí,
fins i tot el cel, els seus formosos,
lluminosos ulls ha aclucat.

Jo vetllo solament, dolça vida,
esguardo delerós en la nit,
fins que el teu estel, en l’erma llunyania,
brillant amorosament em desperti.

Ai, tan sols una vegada, només d’amagat,
per veure la teva estimada imatge,
de bon grat restaria, sota tempesta i baterell
fins ben tard al matí!

És que no la veig brillar en la llunyania!
No es va acostant  poc a poc?
Ah, la sento amablement xiuxiuejar:
mira, l’amic encara està despert.

Dolça paraula, veu estimada,
per als que el meu cor batega!
Un miler d’imatges de felicitat d’amor
ha atiat el teu alè.

Veig brillar tots els estels
en llur òrbita blava i fosca,
i, en el cor i allà dalt,
el cel s’ha obert.

Encisador ressò, amable bressolar,
ara el meu cap reposa dolçament,
i sovint encara, el seu somni, em xiuxiueja
les seves estimades paraules!
