Our translations: CAT ENG ITA
Prächtig ist heute die weite ·
Stränge und sporen beiseite ·
Reiten wir auf dem wein
In den feeenhimmel hinein!
Engel für ewige dauer
Leidend im fieberschauer ·
Durch des morgens blauen kristall
Fort in das leuchtende all!
Wir lehnen uns weich auf den flügel
Des windes der eilt ohne zügel.
Beide voll gleicher lust
Lass schwester uns brust an brust
Fliehn ohne rast und stand
In meiner träume land!
Confirmed with Stefan George, Die Blumen des Bösen, a translation of Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal, Berlin, Bondi, 1901, page 151.

El vi dels amants
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Magnífic és avui l'espai
llevat de cordes i espores,
cavalquem amb el vi
dins del cel de les fades!
Àngels per sempre més,
patint de calfreds,
a través del blau cristall del matí,
lluny en el lluminós univers!
Jeiem suaument damunt de l'ala
del vent que s'apressa sense fre.
Els dos amb el mateix desig.
Que els nostres pits germans
volin sense descans ni parades
per la terra dels meus somnis
