Im Süden

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT

Süße Düfte,
Milde Lüfte
Freundlich uns umzieh'n,
Laue Winde,
Die gelinde
Unsre Segel bläh'n.

Und vom Haine
Tönen reine
Sanfte Melodie'n,
Die bald schwellen
Mit den Wellen,
Bald vorüberzieh'n.

Schöner Süden,
Kannst du Frieden
In die Seele streu'n?
Kannst du geben,
Was das Leben
Wahrhaft kann erfreu'n?

A les terres del sud

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

Dolces flaires
oreigs suaus
amicalment ens envolten,
càlids vents
que suaument
inflen les nostres veles.

I del boscatge
ressonen pures,
dolces melodies
que ara s’acreixen
amb les onades
i adés passen de pressa.

Formoses terres del sud,
podríeu sembrar la pau
a l’ànima?
Podríeu donar
el que veritablement
pot alegrar la vida?
