Labetrank der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Wenn im Spiele leiser Töne
Meine kranke Seele schwebt,
Und der Wehmuth süße Thräne
Deinem warmen Blick [entbebt]1:
Sink' ich dir bey sanftem Wallen
Deines Busens sprachlos hin;
Engelmelodien schallen,
Und der Erde [Schatten]2 fliehn!
So in Eden hingesunken,
Lieb' mit Liebe umgetauscht,
Küsse lispelnd, Wonnetrunken,
Wie von Seraphim umrauscht:
Reichst du mir im Engelbilde
Liebewarmen Labetrank,
Wenn im schnöden Staubgefilde
Schmachtend meine Seele sank.

El beuratge reconfortant de l’amor
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Quan en el joc de tons suaus
sura la meva ànima malaltissa
i dolces llàgrimes de melangia
vessen del teu càlid esguard;
m’enfonso dins del blanenc plec
del teu pit sense dir cap paraula;
ressonen melodies angèliques
i les ombres de la terra s’enfugen!
Així, submergit en l’edèn,
amor bescanviat per amor,
xiuxiuejant besades, ebri de delit,
envoltat de remor de serafins:
sota la forma d’un àngel, tu em donares
un beuratge reconfortant, amb l’escalf de l’amor,
quan en l’erm infame i polsegós,
delint-se, la meva ànima s’esfondrà.
