Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962)
Kennst du das auch?
Language: German (Deutsch)
Kennst du das auch, dass manchesmal
Inmitten einer lauten Lust,
Bei einem Fest, in einem frohen Saal,
Du plötzlich schweigen und hinweggeh'n musst?
Dann legst du dich aufs Lager ohne Schlaf
Wie Einer, den ein plötzlich Herzweh traf;
Lust und Gelächter ist verstiebt wie Rauch,
Du weinst, weinst ohne Halt - Kennst du das auch?

Et passa també a tu?
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Et passa també a tu que moltes vegades
enmig d’una clamorosa joia,
en una festa, en una sala plena de gatzara,
de sobte has de callar i marxar?
Llavors t’estires al llit sense dormir,
com algú colpit sobtadament per l’enyorança;
el goig i les riallades s’han dissipat com el fum,
i tu plores, plores sense parar – et passa també a tu?
