Els núvols de Nadal
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Our translations:  ENG
Els núvols de Nadal no sé què tenen 
que són manyacs: no posen 
gens de malícia al cel: 
pel blau puríssim dolçament s’estenen, 
a la llum de la posta suaus s’encenen 
i de nit deixen veure algun estel. 

És una de les coses més alegres 
veure entre núvols els estels brillar. 
Tenebres de Nadal, no sou tenebres; 
més hi veig en vosaltres que no en el dia clar. 

Ai, nit que vas passant silenciosa; 
ai, núvols blancs que entre els estels correu; 
ai, llum, que no ets enlloc misteriosa; 
ai, portal de Betlem, que ets tot arreu!
