Morgenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Die frohe neu belebte Flur,
Singt ihrem Schöpfer Dank.
O, Herr und Vater der Natur,
Dir tön' auch mein Gesang!

Der Lebensfreuden schenkst du viel
Dem, der sich weislich freut;
Dies sei, o Vater, stets das Ziel
Bei meiner Fröhlichkeit.

Ich kann mich noch des Lebens freu'n
In dieser schönen Welt,
Mein Herz soll dem geheiligt seyn
Der weislich sie erhält.

Wenn dann mir Müden winkt der Tod
Zur bessern Welt zu gehn;
So bricht ein schön'res Morgenroth
Mir an beim Auferstehn.

Confirmed with Kleine ländliche Gemälde und Lieder von Johann Christoph Heise. Hamburg, Schmidt in Comm., 1803, pages 16-17. Note for stanza 1, line 1: while Schubert's autograph has "neu belebte" the printed editions (including the Neue Gesamtausgabe) have "neubelebte".

Cançó del matí
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Els joiosos camps reviscolats de nou
canten agraïments al seu Creador.
Oh Senyor i Pare de la natura
que el meu cant ressoni també per a tu.

Tu dónes moltes joies de la vida
a aquell que assenyadament ho celebra.
Que això sigui sempre, oh Pare, l’objectiu
de la meva alegrança.

Encara puc gaudir de la vida
en aquest món tan formós,
el meu cor estarà consagrat
a aquell que sàviament el conserva.

Quan després, rendit, la mort em faci senyals
per anar a un món millor,
una alba més formosa trencarà
per a mi, a la resurrecció.
