Still ist's im Wald
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Still ist's im Wald, es rauschet
Nur leise murmelnd der Bach,
Durch dämmernde Zweige lauschet
Singvöglein in's grüne Gemach.

Auf Blumenkelchen wiegen
Sich Falter im Sonnenschein,
Goldblitzende Käfer stiegen
Und summen und schläfern dich ein.

Wir ruhten unter den Bäumen
Im Schatten auf kühlem Moos
In süßen, seligen Träumen
Von glücklichem Menschenloos.

Wir dachten, wir wären alleine,
Allein auf der Welt umher,
Wir sprachen: der Deine, die Meine!
Und hatten kein ander Begehr.

Da kam Frau Minne gegangen
Und sah uns lächelnd an
Und hat uns mit Armen umfangen,
Das Weib und den seligen Mann.

Sie hat uns Blumen gestreuet
Und sang uns ein zaubrisches Lied,
Wir haben uns ihrer gefreuet
Und merkten's nicht, wie sie schied.

Frau Minne, wann gehst du wieder
Des Weges im stillen Wald?
Bück' unter die Zweige dich nieder
Und suche nur, findest uns bald.

Tot és tranquil al bosc
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Tot és tranquil al bosc, remoreja
tan sols el rierol, mormolant suaument,
a través de l’entrellum de les branques escolta 
un ocell cantaire en el verd fullatge.

Damunt les poncelles de flors es bressen
papallones a la llum del sol,
escarabats daurats voleien
i bugonen i et fan adormir.

Reposàvem sota els arbres
a l’ombra, damunt la fresca molsa
en dolços, feliços somnis
de benaurats destins humans.

Ens pensàvem que érem sols,
sols del món al nostre entorn,
parlàvem: sóc teu, ets meva!
I no teníem cap mes desig.

Llavors arribà la senyora Amor
i ens mirà somrient
i ens enxampà abraçats 
la dona i l’home feliç.

Ens espargí flors al damunt
i ens cantà una encisadora cançó,
fruírem de la seva presència
i no ens adonàrem quan ella marxà.

Senyora Amor, quan tornaràs
pel camí del bosc tranquil?
Ajup-te sota les branques
i cerca tan sols, aviat ens trobaràs.
