Totensprache

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT

Ich weiß, ich träume im Grabe
Schon viele tausend Jahre;
Heut' senkten sie mir zur Seite
Ein Mädchen mit sonnigem Haare.

Da spür ich den Hauch von Rosen,
Von dunkelpurpurroten,
Das duftet so leise herüber
Wie stiller Gruß von der Toten.

La parla dels morts

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

Sé que, a la tomba, somio
des de fa molts milers d’anys;
avui, al meu costat, han enterrat 
una noia amb els cabells d’or.

Ara, aquí, sento un hàlit de roses,
roses de color porpra fosc,
el perfum m’arriba tan suau,
com una salutació de la morta.
