Neue Liebe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE FRE ITA

Kann auch ein Mensch des andern auf der Erde
Ganz wie er möchte, sein?
-- In langer Nacht bedacht' ich mir's, und mußte sagen, nein!
 
So kann ich niemands heißen auf der Erde,
Und niemand wäre mein?
-- Aus Finsternißen hell in mir aufzückt ein Freudenschein:
 
Sollt' ich mit Gott nicht können sein,
So wie ich möchte, Mein und Dein?
Was hielte mich, daß ich's nicht heute werde?
 
Ein süßes Schrecken geht durch mein Gebein!
Mich wundert, daß es mir ein Wunder wollte sein,
Gott selbst zu eigen haben auf der Erde!

Amor nou

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

Pot una persona pertànyer, totalment com voldria,
a una altra en aquesta terra?
Ho he pensat tota una llarga nit i haig de dir: no!

Així doncs, a la terra no puc pertànyer a ningú
i tampoc ningú em pertany?
De la foscúria a dintre meu sorgeix ben clar un raig de joia:

no podria pas ser amb Déu
com jo voldria, Ell meu i jo seu?
Què em podria impedir de ser-ho avui mateix?

Un dolç ensurt corre pels meus ossos!
Em sorprèn que això sembli per a mi un miracle,
posseir el mateix Déu aquí a la terra!
