Iphigenia
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Blüht denn hier an Tauris Strande
[Keine Blum' aus Hellas Lande,
Weht kein milder Segenshauch]1
Aus den [lieblichen]2 Gefilden,
Wo Geschwister mit mir spielten? -
Ach, mein Leben ist ein Rauch!
Trauernd wank' ich [durch die]3 Haine, -
Keine Hoffnung nähr' ich - keine,
Meine Heimath zu erseh'n; -
Und die See mit hohen Wellen,
Die an Klippen [kalt]4 zerschellen,
Übertäubt mein leises Fleh'n.
Göttin, [welche]5 mich gerettet,
An die Wildnis [mich gekettet]6, -
Rette mich zum zweitenmal; -
Gnädig lasse mich den Meinen,
Laß' o Göttinn! mich erscheinen
In des großen Königs Saal!

Ifigènia
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Aquí, al litoral de Tàurida, no hi creix
cap flor del país hel•lènic?
No bufa cap oreig suau
dels benaventurats camps
on les meves germanes jugaven amb mi? –
Ai, la meva vida és un no res!
Amb tristor, camino vacil•lant per el boscatge –
no nodreixo cap esperança – cap,
de tornar a veure la meva pàtria,
i el mar amb les seves grans onades
que rompen contra les roques,
eixorda les meves apagades súpliques.
Oh deessa, tu que m’has salvat
i encadenat en aquest lloc desert,
salva’m una segona vegada;
sigues indulgent i deixa’m, oh deessa,
comparèixer davant la meva gent,
a la sala del magne rei!
