Der Leidende
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Nimmer trag' ich länger
Dieser Leiden Last:
Nimm den müden Pilger
Bald hinauf zu dir.
Immer, immer enger
Wird's in meinem Busen,
Immer, immer trüber
Wird der Augen Blick.
Nimmer trag' ich länger
Dieser Leiden Last.
Öffne mir den Himmel,
Milder, güt'ger Gott!
Laß mich meine Schmerzen
Senken in das Grab!
Allzu viele Qualen
Wüten mir im Innern,
Hin ist jede Hoffnung,
Hin des Herzens Glut.
Öffne mir den Himmel,
Milder, güt'ger Gott!

El sofrent
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Mai de la vida suportaré per més temps
aquesta càrrega de sofriments:
emporta't aviat aquest
fatigat pelegrí.
Cada cop esdevé més i més
oprimit el meu cor,
cada cop més enterbolit
l'esguard dels meus ulls.
Mai de la vida suportaré per més temps
aquesta càrrega de sofriments.
Obre'm les portes del cel,
Déu clement i benèvol!
Deixa que els meus dolors
s'enfonsin a la tomba!
Massa turments
fan estralls a dintre meu,
perduda tota esperança,
perdut el fervor del meu cor.
Obre'm les portes del cel,
Déu clement i benèvol!
