Daß ich dich verlohren habe,
Daß du nicht mehr bist,
Ach! daß hier in diesem Grabe
Mein Anselmo ist,
Das ist mein Schmerz! das ist mein Schmerz!!!
Seht, [wie]¹ liebten [uns, wir]² beyde,
Und, so lang' ich bin, kommt Freude
Niemahls wieder in mein Herz.

Perquè jo t’he perdut

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

Perquè jo t’he perdut,
perquè ja no existeixes,
ai! Perquè aquí en aquesta tomba
està el meu Anselmo,
això és el meu dolor! Això és el meu dolor!!
Mireu, nosaltres ens estimarem un a l’altre
i, tant de temps com jo visqui, la joia
no vindrà mai més al meu cor.
