Hoffnungslos

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT

In meinem Herzen ist's öd' und leer,
So gar nicht, als ob draußen Frühling wär
Als funkle draußen der Sonne Pracht,
In meinem Herzen ist tiefe Nacht.

Ob draußen auch blühen die Rosen rot,
In meinem Herzen ist alles tot.
Es will keine Hoffnung zu grünen wagen,
Seit ich die schönste zu Grabe getragen.

Sense esperança

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

Al meu cor tot és desolat i buit,
encara que a fora fos primavera,
encara que espurnegés l’esplendor del sol,
al meu cor regna la nit profunda. 

Encara que a fora floreixin vermelles les roses,
al meu cor tot és mort.
Cap esperança no gosa reverdir
des que a la més bella vaig portar a la tomba.
