Liebe mir im Busen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Liebe mir im Busen
Zündet einen Brand.
Wasser, liebe Mutter,
Eh das Herz verbrannt!
Nicht das blinde Kind
Straft für meine Fehle;
Hat zuerst die Seele
Mir gekühlt so lind.
Dann entflammt's geschwind
Ach, mein Unverstand;
Wasser, liebe Mutter,
Eh das Herz verbrannt!
Ach! wo ist die Flut,
Die dem Feuer wehre?
Für so große Glut
Sind zu arm die Meere.
Weil es wohl mir tut
Wein' ich unverwandt;
Wasser, liebe Mutter,
Eh das Herz verbrannt!

L’amor al meu pit
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
L’amor al meu pit
ha provocat un incendi.
Aigua, mare estimada,
abans que se’m cremi el cor!
No castigueu l’infant cec
per les meves culpes;
primer la meva ànima
suaument es refrescà.
Després ràpidament s’inflamà,
ai, em manca l’enteniment;
aigua, mare estimada,
abans que se’m cremi el cor!
Ai! On és el diluvi
que pogués extingir el foc?
Per a un ardor tan gran
els mars són poca cosa.
Perquè em fa sentir millor,
ploro sense parar;
aigua, mare estimada,
abans que se’m cremi el cor!
