Strahlt zuweilen auch ein mildes Licht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Strahlt zuweilen auch ein mildes Licht
Auf mich hin aus diesem Angesicht -
Ach, es können auch wohl Huldgebärden
Machen, daß uns fast das Herze bricht.
Was die Liebe sucht, um froh zu werden,
Das verraten diese Blicke nicht.

Encara que de vegades una dolça llum

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

Encara que de vegades una dolça llum
m’arribi d’aquell rostre –
Ai, això pot ser un gest de favor
que quasi em parteix el cor.
El que el meu amor cerca per ser feliç,
no ho evidencien aquests esguards.
