Wiederkehrend nach dem Vaterlande

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Wiederkehrend nach dem Vaterlande,
Hofft' ich deine Lilienhand zu drücken,
Traut're Bande
Würden uns, so hofft' ich, dann beglücken,
Wiederkehrend nach dem Vaterlande!

Wehe mir, du bist vorangegangen
Nach viel besser'm Vaterlande, [o Teure!]¹
Welch Verlangen,
Daß auch ich bald meinen Nachen steu're
Nach viel besser'm Vaterland, o Teure!

Tornant al meus país natal

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

Tornant al meus país natal,
esperava prémer la teva mà de lliri;
lligams més íntims,
jo esperava que llavors ens farien feliços,
tornant al meus país natal!

Ai de mi, tu m’has passat al davant
vers un país molt millor, oh estimada!
Quin deler
d’aviat menar la meva barca jo també
vers un país molt millor, oh estimada!
