Herbstlied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT

Im Walde rauschen dürre Blätter,
Es schweigt der Sang, das Grün verdorrt,
Im Fluge zieh'n, wie Wind und Wetter,
Der Sommer und die Sänger fort.
Was zagst du, Herz? Was zagst du trübe?
Die Liebe bleibt, dir bleibt die Liebe!

Die reifen Garben sind geschnitten,
Der Wind fährt übers Stoppelfeld,
Ein Schnitter kommt dahergeschritten,
Der andere dunkle Ernten hält.
Was bangst du Herz? Bangst so betroffen?
Das Hoffen bleibt, dir bleibt das Hoffen!

Will denn die Welt ganz einsam stehen,
Wenn alles zieht und mich verläßt?
Wenn Lenz und Lieb und Jugend gehen,
Was bleibt mir denn? Was hält noch fest?
Was sorgst du Herz? Was sorgst aufs neue?
Die Treue bleibt, dir bleibt die Treue!

Cançó de tardor

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

Al bosc les fulles seques fan fressa,
callen els cants, s’asseca la verdor,
volant, com el vent i el temps,
l’estiu i els ocells se’n van.
De què et preocupes, tu, cor meu? Per què et neguiteges?
L’amor roman, per a tu roman l’amor!

Les espigues madures ja s’han segat,
el vent passa damunt el camp de rostolls,
d’allí arriba un segador caminant,
un altre sosté la bruna sega.
De què tens por, tu, cor meu? Per què sembles tan afectat?
L’esperança roman, per a tu roman l’esperança!

Restarà el món tot sol,
quan tot passi i m’abandoni?
Quan la primavera, l’amor i la joventut se’n van,
què em resta aleshores? Què resisteix encara?
De què t’inquietes, tu, cor meu? Què et preocupa de nou?
La fidelitat roman, per a tu roman la fidelitat!
