Eure Weisheit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich sah am liebsten hoch im Turm
weit nach den blauen Landen,
bin jauchzend bei dem lauten Sturm
des Glockenschwungs gestanden;
ich kam hernieder, doch empor
schlägt noch mein Herz nach Jahren.
So blieb ich immer euch ein Tor,
die niemals droben waren.

La vostra saviesa
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
M’agradava mirar des de dalt de la torre
cap els blaus païssos llunyans,
he aguantat alegre la tempesta sorollosa
de l’embranzida de les campanes;
vaig baixar, però el meu cor
batega cap amunt des de fa anys.
Per això sempre m’heu pres per un ximple,
els que mai no heu pujat allà dalt.
