Il m'est cher, Amour, le bandeau
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG GER
Fulcite me floribus.
Il m'est cher, Amour, le bandeau
Qui me tient les paupières closes ;
Il pèse comme un doux fardeau
De soleil sur de faibles roses.
Si j'avance, l'étrange chose !
Je parais marcher sur les eaux ;
Mes pieds trop lourds où je les pose,
S'enfoncent comme en des anneaux.
Qui donc a délié dans l'ombre
Le faix d'or de mes longs cheveux ?
Toute ceinte d'étreintes sombres,
Je plonge en des vagues de feu.
Mes lèvres où mon âme chante,
Toute d'extase et de baiser
S'ouvrent comme une fleur ardente
Au-dessus d'un fleuve embrasé.

M’és cara, Amor, la bena
Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)
Fulcite me floribus.
M’és cara, Amor, la bena
que manté els meus ulls tancats;
pesa com una dolça càrrega
de sol damunt les delicades roses.
Si avanço, cosa estranya!
Em sembla caminar damunt l’aigua;
els meus peus massa feixucs allà on els poso,
s’enfonsen com dins d’anells.
Qui ha doncs deslligat a l’ombra
el feix d’or dels meus llargs cabells?
Tota envoltada d’obscures abraçades
m’enfonso dins d’ones de foc.
Els meus llavis on canta la meva ànima,
plena d’èxtasi i de besades,
s’obren com una flor ardent
damunt un riu de flames.
