Es steht mein Lied in Nacht und Frost

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: 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.
