Hatem
Dies zu deuten bin erbötig!
Hab ich dir nicht oft erzählt,
Wie der Doge von Venedig
Mit dem Meere sich vermählt?
So von deinen Fingergliedern
Fiel der Ring dem Euphrat zu.
Ach, zu tausend [Himmelsliedern]1,
Süßer Traum, begeisterst du!
Mich, der von des Indostanen
Streifte bis Damaskus hin,
Um mit neuen Karawanen
Bis ans rote Meer zu ziehn,
Mich vermählst du deinem Fluße,
Der Terrasse diesem Hain:
Hier soll bis zum letzten Kuße
Dir mein Geist gewidmet sein.

Estic disposat a explicar‑t’ho
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Hatem
Estic disposat a explicar-t’ho!
No t’he contat moltes vegades
com el dux de Venècia
es va casar amb el mar?
Així, del teu dit
l’anell d’or va caure a l’Eufrates.
Ai, mil cants celestials,
dolç somni, tu m’inspires!
A mi, que des de l’Hindustan
he errat fins a Damasc
per, amb noves caravanes,
anar fins al Mar Roig,
a mi, em fas casar amb el teu riu,
a la terrassa d’aquest boscatge:
aquí, fins la meva darrera besada,
el meu esperit t’estarà dedicat.
