Ach! der Gebirgssohn hängt mit...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Ach! der Gebirgssohn hängt mit kindlicher Lieb' an der Heimath;
[Und wie]1 den Alpen geraubt hinwelket die Blume, so welkt er
Ihr entrissen dahin! - Stets sieht er die trauliche Hütte,
Die ihn gebar, im hellen Grün umduftender Matten;
Sieht das dunkele Föhrengehölz, die ragende Felswand
Über ihm, und noch Berg' auf Berg' in erschütternder Hoheit
Aufgethürmt, und glühend im Rosenschimmer des Abends.
Immer schwebt es ihm vor, verdunkelt ist alles um ihn her.

Ängstlich horcht er; [ihn]2 deucht: er höre das Muhen der Kühe
[Von dem]3 nahen Gehölz, und hoch von den Alpen herunter
Glöcklein klingen; [ihn]2 deucht: er höre das Rufen der Hirten,
Oder [der Sennerinn Lied]4, die mit [überschlagender]5 Stimme,
Freudig zum Wiederhall aufjauchzt Melodien des Alplands.
Immer tönt es ihm nach; ihn fesselt der lachenden Ebnen
Anmuth nicht; er fliehet der Städt' einengende Mauern
Einsam, und schaut aufweinend vom Hügel die heimischen Berge;
Ach! [denn]6 es zieht ihn dahin mit unwiderstehlicher Sehnsucht!

L’enyorança
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ai, el fill de les muntanyes roman afecte,
amb un amor infantívol, al seu país nadiu.
Tal com la flor robada dels Alps es marceix,
ell també ho fa, arrabassat de la pàtria.

Ell sempre veu la cabana familiar
en la que va néixer, al mig de prats
verds i flairosos;
veu l’ombrívol bosc de pins,
l’alt penya-segat al seu damunt
i encara muntanya sobre muntanya,
amuntegades en esfereïdora
alçària i resplendents
en la vermellor del capvespre.
Tot això sura davant seu
i ho enfosqueix tot al seu entorn.

Inquiet escolta; li sembla
sentir el mugir de les vaques al vorer boscatge,
i des de dalt dels Alps 
un toc de campanes,
li sembla que sent el crit dels pastors
o una cançó de la noia lletera,
que amb veu poderosa
canta joiosa melodies dels Alps
que ressonen en l’eco
i que més tard el so a ell arriba.

L’encís de les planes rialleres
no el captiva pas,
fuig de les muralles de la ciutat que l’oprimeixen,
tot sol des dels tossals esguarda plorant
les muntanyes nadiues;
ai las, cap allí se sent atret
amb un irresistible desig.
