Der Hirt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Du Thurm! zu meinem Leide
Ragst du so hoch empor,
Und mahnest grausam immer
An [sie, die]1 ich verlor.
Sie hängt an einem Andern,
Und wohnt im Weiler dort.
Mein armes Herz verblutet,
Vom schärfsten Pfeil durchbohrt.
In ihren [braunen]2 Augen
War keiner Untreu Spur;
[Aus ihnen sprachen Liebe
Und holde Anmuth]3 nur.
Wohin ich [nun mich]4 wende -
Der Thurm, er folget mir;
O sagt' er, statt der Stunden,
Was mich vernichtet, ihr!

El pastor
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Oh torre! Per la meva dolença
t’alces tan amunt,
i cruel, sempre em recordes
aquella que vaig perdre.
Ella està ara amb un altre
i viu al poblet allà baix.
El meu pobre cor es dessagna,
travessat per la fletxa més punxent.
En els seus formosos ulls,
ni hi havia cap rastre d’infidelitat,
jo només hi veia tot un cel d’amor,
només un mirall de l’encís.
Adés, onsevulla que vagi
la torre em segueix;
oh, si en lloc d’anunciar les hores,
li digués a ella el que em va destruir!
