Vorüber!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Die Luft ist kühl und trübe,
Der Frühling rief Ade!
So scheidet auch die Liebe
Nach kurzem Wonneweh.

Es ist ein altes Leiden,
Was Lenz und Liebe raubt:
O hätten wir den beiden,
Mein Herz, doch nie geglaubt!

Passat
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
L’aire és fresc i ombriu,
la primavera diu adéu!
També s’acomiada l’amor
després de curts delits i penes.

És una vella aflicció,
la que ens roben la primavera i l’amor:
Oh, cor meu, tant de bó
no els haguéssim cregut a ambdós!
