Sehnsucht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Alte Gruben schaufle um,
Tiefer werden sie und breiter;
Altes Leid wird nimmer stumm,
Denn im neuen schluchzt es weiter.

Alter Wein, der [unversehrt]1,
Kocht in seines Saftes Gluten;
Alte Sehnsucht schwillt und nährt
Sich [vom]2 eigenen Verbluten.

Anhel
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Remoc velles fosses,
esdevenen més profundes i més amples;
les velles penes no emmudeixen mai,
perquè en les noves, segueixen sanglotejant.

El vi vell que, intacte,
fermenta en el caliu del seu suc;
el vell anhel s’entumeix i s’alimenta
del seu propi dessagnament.
