Allein

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Wie zerriss'ner Saiten Klingen
Tönt mein Lachen mir in's Ohr,
Und die heißen Thränen dringen
Bitterlich zum Aug' empor.

Ob ich lache oder weine,
Ach, es ist ja Alles eins:
Leid und Lust trag' ich alleine,
Meine Thränen kümmern keins.

Sola

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

Com el so d’una corda trencada,
el meu riure em ressona a les orelles,
i càlides llàgrimes m’arriben
amargament als meus ulls.

Tant si ric com si ploro,
ai, és tot el mateix:
la pena i el goig els duc tota sola,
ningú es preocupa de les meves llàgrimes.
