Augenlied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Süße Augen, klare Bronnen!
Meine Qual und Seligkeit
Ist fürwahr aus euch [geronnen]¹,
Und mein Dichten euch geweiht.

  Wo ich weile,
  [Wie]² ich eile,
Liebend strahlet ihr mich an;
  Ihr erleuchtet
  Ihr befeuchtet
Mir mit Thränen meine Bahn.

Treue Sterne schwindet nimmer,
Leitet mich zum Acheron!
Und mit eurem letzten Schimmer
Sey mein Leben auch entflohn.

Cançó dels ulls

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

Dolços ulls, clares deus!
El meu turment i la meva benaurança
els he veritablement assolit de vosaltres
i el meu poema us està dedicat.

Allà on estic, 
allà on vaig,
em resplendiu amorosament;
vosaltres m’il·lumineu, 
m’humitegeu
amb llàgrimes el meu camí.

Estrelles fidels, no desapareixeu mai,
guieu-me vers Aqueront!
I amb la vostra darrera llum
que fugi també la meva vida.
