Ich liebe dich!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Wie ein Goldadler reißt der Blitz
sich los vom Gipfel des Himmels;
der Eichwald stürzt vor ihm zu Staub
und flammt dabei empor in seliger Vernichtung.
So sink ich hin zu deinen Füßen, Weib,
und jauchze laut, daß ich dich liebe.

T'estimo!
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Igual que un àguila daurada s'apodera del llamp
en la cima del cel,
i el roure del bosc cau a la pols al seu davant
i crema enlaire en feliç anorreament,
així em llenço als teus peus, muller,
i crido molt fort que t'estimo.
