Die Macht der Liebe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Überall, wohin mein Auge blicket,
Herrschet Liebe, find' ich ihre Spur;
Jedem Strauch und Blümchen auf der Flur
Hat sie tief ihr Siegel eingedrücket.

Sie erfüllt, durchglüht, verjüngt und schmücket
Stets das All der wirkenden Natur;
Erd' und Himmel, jede Kreatur
Lebt und webt durch sie, von ihr beglücket.

Blinder Knabe! muß denn alles sich
Unter deinen Rosen-Scepter schmiegen?
Ja, es athmet alles nur für dich!

Alles schlürft in taumelndem Vergnügen
Deinen Honig ein in langen Zügen!
Hast du Wermuth nur allein für mich?!

• F. Schubert

F. Schubert sets stanzas 1-2

Confirmed with Selam. Ein Almanach für Freunde des Mannigfaltigen. Herausgegeben von I.F.Castelli. Dritter Jahrgang 1814. Wien, gedruckt und im Verlage bey Anton Strauß, page 38.

Note: A later version of Kalchberg's poem (see below) has a different rhythm. Mandyczewski, the editor of Schubert's first edition, who did not know Schubert's source from "Selam", used this later version of the poem to create a second stanza which would fit to the rhythm of Schubert's music (Schubert wrote only the first stanza explicitly down in his manuscript, but added the comment "dazu eine Strophe"):

Sie erfüllt, durchglüht, verjüngt und schmücket
Alles Lebende in der Natur;
Erd' und Himmel, jede Creatur,
Leben nur durch sie, von ihr beglücket.

El poder de l'amor

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

Arreu, on miren els meus ulls,
hi regna l’amor, hi trobo la seva empremta;
a cada matoll, a cada flor del camp,
ell hi ha imprès el seu segell.

Ell emplena, inspira, rejoveneix i adorna
sempre la totalitat de la natura vivent;
la terra i el cel, totes les criatures,
viuen i es mouen gràcies a ell, que les omple de goig.
