Geheimnis

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT

Die andern Mädchen wissen's nicht,
Warum sich deine Augen weiten.
Ich ließ deiner Haare goldnes Licht
Durch meine seligen Finger gleiten.

Die andern Mädchen ahnen's kaum,
Warum dich Schauer überfliegen.
Ich ließ deiner Lippen roten Saum
An meinem seligen Munde liegen.

Sie sehn nur, daß wie Rosenglut
Dein junges Leben aufgebrochen.
Ich ließ dein pulsendes junges Blut
An meinem seligen Herzen pochen.

Secret

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Les altres noies no saben pas
per què els teus ulls s’esbatanen.
He deixat l’àuria llum dels teus cabells
lliscar entre els meus dits benaurats.

Les altres noies sospiten a penes
per què calfreds et recorren.
He deixat col·locar l’orla vermella dels teus llavis
a la meva boca benaurada.

Elles només veuen que, com un fervor de roses,
s’ha desclòs la teva jove vida.
He deixat la teva palpitant jove sang
bategar al meu cor benaurat.
