Die sanfte Wiese flieht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Die sanfte Wiese flieht
In einem runden Schwung zum Tal.
Oben ist alles noch kahl,
Im Grunde aber blüht Enzian
Und helles Primelgold.
Das rührt mich wie ein Lied
Mit Engelhänden an,
Ist wie ein Mädchenlied so licht und hold.
Schmerzen schweigen, das alte Leid
Sinkt in Traum und Vergessenheit
Für einen Tag,
Für einen Tag im Jahr.
O, es ist wunderbar,
Was der Frühling vermag.

La prada suau s’estén vers la vall
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
La prada suau s’estén vers la vall
en una embranzida circular.
A dalt tot és encara erm,
però al fons floreix la genciana
i l’or clar de la prímula.
Això em commou com un cant
de la mà dels àngels,
és com la cançó d’una donzella, tan lluminós i encisador.
S’esfumen les penes, la vella aflicció
s’enfonsa en el somni i l’oblit
per un dia,
per un dia a l’any.
Oh, és meravellós
el que la primavera és capaç de fer.
