O legt mich nicht ins dunkle Grab
Language: German (Deutsch)
O legt mich nicht ins [dunkle]1 Grab, Nicht unter die grüne [Erd']2 hinab! Soll ich begraben sein, [Lieg' ich]3 in's tiefe Gras hinein. In Gras und Blumen [lieg']4 ich [gern]5, Wenn eine Flöte tönt von fern Und wenn hoch obenhin Die hellen Frühlingswolken ziehn.

Oh, no em poseu en un fosc sepulcre
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Oh, no em poseu en un fosc sepulcre, ni a baix, sota la verda terra! Si haig de ser enterrat, que sigui en l’herba fonda. M’agradaria jaure entre herbes i flors, quan de lluny ressoni una flauta i quan al meu damunt passin els clars núvols de primavera.
