Bei Schenkung eines Flügels

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Die Orange und Myrthe hier
Und rings der Blumen Zier,
Und in der Mitte ein Flügel fein,
Das muß wohl von meinem Liebsten sein.
 
Er sei Dir werth; wie schön sie blüht,
Die Blume verblüht; was tiefer glüht,
Du hegst es im Herzen auf [treuem Herd]¹;
Die Kunst sie bleib Dir werth!
 
Und kann ich nicht immer bei dir sein,
Eil' dann zum Freund und denke mein!
Doch denk' ich daß wir in allen Tagen
All Leid und Freud zusammentragen.

A la donació d’un piano

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

Aquí les taronges i les murtres
i al voltant l’ornament de flors,
i al bell mig un bonic piano
que deu ser un regal de la meva estimada.

Que sigui digne de tu; per més formosa que floreixi,
la flor es marceix; el que més profundament refulgeix
tu ho guardes fidelment al teu cor;
que l’art resti digne de tu!

I si no puc romandre per sempre amb tu,
llavors apressa’t vers els amics i pensa en mi!
Però jo penso que durant tots els dies
portarem ensems el goig i la pena.
