So laß herein nun brechen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
So laß herein nun brechen
die Brandung, wie sie will,
du darfst ein Wort nur sprechen,
so wird der Abgrund still.
Und bricht die letzte Brücke
zu dir, der treulich steht,
hebt über Not und Glücke
mich einsam das Gebet.

Elevació
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Així, deixa ara les onades
rompre com vulguin,
només cal que diguis una paraula
i l’abisme restarà silent.
I si s’ensorrés el darrer pont
cap a tu, el que resisteix fidelment,
llavors, que damunt el destret i la benaurança,
s’elevi la meva solitària pregària.
