Das Mondlicht scheint in Fülle
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Portuguese (Português) 
Our translations:  CAT
Das Mondlicht scheint in Fülle 
Mit der Gestirne Glast: 
Wir gehen froh und stille 
Und halten uns umfaßt. 
Und von der Nacht Gewande 
Strömt mächtig über die Lande 
Und löset alle Bande 
Der Thau der süßen Rast. 

O Zauber ohne Ende! 
So göttlich bist du nicht, 
Als wenn mein Lieb die Hände 
Mir um den Nacken flicht. 
Von jener goldnen Ferne 
Wend' ich die Augen gerne -- 
Mir leuchten nur zwei Sterne, 
Und doch mit hell'rem Licht.

La llum de la lluna brilla amb esplet
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Add this translation to your Reprint Basket
La llum de la lluna brilla amb esplet
amb l'esplendor de les estrelles:
Caminem joiosos i en silenci,
mantenint-nos abraçats.
I de l’embolcall de la nit
brolla poderosament damunt la terra
 i desfà tots els vincles
la rosada del dolç repòs.

Oh, encís sense fi!
No ets tan diví
com quan les mans de la meva estimada
s'entrellacen al meu coll.
D'aquella daurada llunyania
de grat giro la vista —
tan sols dues estrelles m'il·luminen,
i, tanmateix, amb una llum més viva.
