Wenn ich's nur wüßt

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT

Er hat mich im Traum geküßt,
Wenn ich ach! wenn ich's nur wüßt!
Macht mir gar arge Pein:
Ob es mag Sünde sein?

Fühle ach! fühle zur Stund
Immer noch brennen den Mund,
's drang bis in's Herz hinein
Wie jetzt der Sonnenschein.

Habe nicht Rast mehr noch Ruh,
Seufze und sinn' immer zu!
Wenn ich ach! wenn ich nur wüßt,
Ob er mich wieder so küßt.

Si jo tan sols sabés

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

Ell m’ha besat en somnis,
si jo ai! Si jo tan sols sabés!
Em fa molta angúnia:
i si fos pecat?

Sento ai! Sento hores d’ara
encara una cremor a la boca
que penetra fins al fons del cor,
com ara els raigs del sol.

No tinc pausa i menys encara descans,
sospiro i hi penso sense parar!
Si jo ai! Si jo tan sols sabés
si ell així em tornarà a besar.
