Sah dem edlen Bildnis in des Auges

Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Sah dem edlen Bildnis in des Auges
Allzusüßen Wunderschein,
Büßte so des eigenen Auges heitern
Schimmer ein.
Herr mein Gott, was hast du doch gebildet
Uns zu Jammer und zu Qual
Solche dunkle Sterne mit so lichtem
Zauberstrahl!
Mich geblendet hat für alle Wonnen
Dieser Erde jene Pracht;
All umher, wo meine Blicke forschen,
Ist es Nacht.

Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Vaig veure la noble imatge dels seus ulls,
un esclat dolç en excés, meravellós,
i vaig perdre la serena brillantor
dels meus propis ulls.
Déu meu, Senyor, per què has creat,
per a la nostra aflicció i turment,
aitals obscures estrelles amb raigs
tan lluminosos i encisadors!
Ells han ofuscat l’esplendor
de tot el goig de la terra;
arreu on albiren els meus esguards,
és de nit.
