Vor dem Sterben

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT

Wenn dich die tiefe Sehnsucht rührt,
Die Stirn des Ewigen zu küssen,
Wirst du dem Lächeln folgen, müssen,
Das über Strom und Gründe führt.

Ein gold'ner Stern ist deine Fähre,
Von keines Schattens Hauch bewegt,
Die aus der Qual der Erdenlande
Zum Inselland hinüber trägt.

Abans de morir

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

Si et corprèn el desig profund
de besar el front de l’Etern,
hauràs de seguir el somriure,
que mena damunt rius i terres.

Un estel d’or és la teva barca,
cap hàlit d’ombra fa moure
la que, del turment de la terra,
et transporta al país de les illes.
