Regen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Geht ein grauer Mann 
Durch den stillen Wald,
Singt ein graues Lied.
Die [Vöglein]¹ schweigen alsbald.
Die Fichten ragen so stumm und schwül
Mit ihrem schweren Astgewühl.
In fernen Tiefen 
Vergrollt ein Ton. --

Pluja

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

Un home gris va 
pel bosc silenciós,
canta una cançó grisa.
De seguida callen els ocellets.
Els avets s’eleven callats i xafogosos
amb les seves nombroses i pesades branques.
En les profunditats llunyanes 
retruny un so.
