Minnelied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG SPA

Wie der Quell so lieblich klinget
Und die zarten Blumen küßt,
Wie der Fink im Schatten singet
Und das nahe Liebchen grüßt!

Wie die Lichter zitternd schweifen
Und das Gras sich grün erfreut,
Wie die Tannen weithin greifen
Und die Linde Blüten streut!

In der Linde süß Gedüfte,
In der Tannen Riesellaut,
In dem Spiel der Sommerlüfte
Glänzet sie als Frühlingsbraut.

Aber Waldton, Vogelsingen,
Duft der Blüten, haltet ein,
Licht, verdunkle, nie gelingen
Kann es euch, ihr gleich zu sein!

Cançó d'amor

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

Que encantadora ressona la font
i besa les delicades flors,
com canta a l’ombra el pinsà
i saluda l’estimada a prop!

Com erren les llums tremoloses
i l’herba s’alegra en la verdor,
que amunt s’allargassen els avets
i els til·lers escampen les flors!

En la dolça flaire dels til·lers,
en el remoreig dels avets,
en el joc de l’oreig estival,
ella resplendeix com la núvia de la primavera.

Però, sons del bosc, cant d’ocells,
perfum de les flors, cesseu,
llum, enfosqueix-te, mai assolireu
a ser iguals com ella!
