Es steht mein Lied in Nacht und Frost
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Es steht mein Lied in Nacht und Frost,
Die alles Leben tödten,
Und harrt vergebens, ob der Ost
Nicht wieder mag erröthen.
So steht es nun ein ganzes Jahr
In dieser Nacht, der kalten,
Und dennoch grünt's noch immerdar,
Wer hat es wohl erhalten ?
Du nicht, du nicht, von aller Welt
Bewundert und beneidet.
Der hat's getan, der auf dem Feld
Die Lilien [bekleidet]1.

La meva cançó rau en la nit i el fred
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
La meva cançó rau en la nit i el fred
que maten tota la vida,
i espera endebades que a llevant
no hi torni a envermellir.
Així he restat ara fa un any sencer
en aquesta nit freda,
i tanmateix verdeja sempre encara,
qui ho ha pogut preservar?
No pas tu, no pas tu, per tot el món
admirada i envejada.
Qui ho ha fet, és qui als camps
els lliris vesteix.
