Printemps triste

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT CHI ENG

Nos sentiers aimés s'en vont refleurir
Et mon cœur brisé ne peut pas renaître.
Aussi chaque soir me voit accourir 
Et longuement pleurer sous ta fenêtre.

Ta fenêtre vide où ne brille plus
Ta tête charmante ett ton doux sourire ;
Et comme je pense à nos jours perdus,
Je me lamente, et je ne sais que dire.

Et toujours les fleurs, et toujours le ciel,
Et l'âme des bois dans leur ombre épaisse
Murmurant en choeur un chant éternel 
Qui se répond dans l'air chargé d'ivresse !

Et la mer qui roule au soleil levant,
Emportant bien loin toutes mes pensées...
Qu'elles aillent donc sur l'aile du vent
Jusques à toi, ces colombes blessées !

Primavera trista

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Els nostres estimats viaranys refloriran
i el meu cor trencat no pot renéixer.
Per això tots els vespres se’m veu comparèixer
i plorar força temps sota la teva finestra.

La teva finestra buida on ja no hi brilla
el teu cap encisador ni tampoc el teu dolç somriure;
i pensant en els nostres dies perduts,
em lamento i no sé què dir.

I sempre les flors, i sempre el cel,
i l’ànima dels boscos en llur ombra espessa
com un cor murmurejant un cant etern
que s’escampa per l’aire carregat d’embriaguesa!

I el mar que balandreja en el sol llevant,
emportant-se ben lluny tots els meus pensaments...
Que, damunt les ales del vent, vagin doncs
a trobar-te, aquests coloms ferits!
