Und wo noch kein Wandrer gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT CAT DUT ENG FRE
[Und]1 wo noch kein Wandrer gegangen,
Hoch über Jäger und Roß
Die Felsen [im Abendrot]2 hangen
Als wie ein Wolkenschloß.

Dort zwischen [den]3 Zinnen und Spitzen
Von wilden Nelken umblüht
Die schönen Waldfrauen sitzen
Und singen im [Wind]4 ihr Lied.

Der Jäger schaut nach dem Schlosse;
"Die droben, das ist mein Lieb".
Er [sprang]5 [von dem scheuenden]6 Rosse -
Weiß keiner, wo er blieb.

On cap caminant mai hi ha anat
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
On cap caminant mai hi ha anat,
per damunt del caçador i del cavall
les roques s’alcen al capvespre
com un castell de núvols.

Allà, entre els merlets i els pinacles
rodejades de clavells silvestres
seuen les belles nimfes del bosc
i canten llurs cançons al vent.

El caçador esguardà el castell;
“Aquella, allà dalt, és la meva estimada.”
Saltà del cavall desbocat –
ningú sap què fou d’ell.
