Franz Evers (1871 - 1947)
Meine Seele
Language: German (Deutsch)
Meine Seele, die hat weite Flügel,
weiche Seraphfittiche von Licht,
meine Seele, die hat Schwanenflügel
und ermüdet nie und schlummert nicht.
Meine Seele wacht in deinem Kreise,
segnend streift dich ihrer Flüge Schein
und du neigst dein Haupt und schmiegst dich leise
tief in ihre Fittiche hinein.
Confirmed with Deutsche Lieder von Franz Evers, Berlin, G. Grote'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1895, page 39.

La meva ànima
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
La meva ànima té ales ben amples,
flonges com un lluminós serafí,
la meva ànima té ales com un cigne
i mai es cansa ni dorm.
La meva ànima vetlla al teu entorn,
tot beneint-te, et frega la llum de les seves ales
i tu reclines el cap i t’enfonses
silenciosament en les seves ales.
