Wartend

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG

Sie trug einen Falken auf ihrer Hand,
und hat ihn über den See gesandt.
     Komme du bald!
Er kam mit dem Falken wohl über den See,
und blies ins Hüfthorn vor Lust und Weh,
     Komme du bald!
Der Falk flog weit in Wald und Nacht;
vom Morgentraum ist das Fräulein erwacht.
     Komme, komme du bald!

Esperant

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

Ella duia un falcó a la mà,
i l’envià enllà del mar.
          Vine aviat!
Ell vingué del mar amb el falcó,
i bufà en el seu corn sons de goig i de pena,
          Vine aviat!
El falcó s’envolà lluny vers el bosc i la nit;
d’un somni matinal s’ha despertat la donzella.
          Vine, vine aviat!
