Die Glocke des Glücks
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Viele Glocken hör' ich läuten,
Nun es Abend werden will --
Eine nur will nimmer klingen,
Eine nur ist ewig still.
Tiefe Glocke meines Glückes:
Einmal noch zur Abendzeit
Singe [über]1 meinem Hügel
[Jenes]2 Lied voll Seligkeit.3
Dem ich meine junge Stirne
Lauschend einst empor gewandt,
Da ich noch auf hellen Wegen
Schritt an meines Liebsten Hand.

La campana de la felicitat
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
He sentit tocar moltes campanes
ara que aviat es farà fosc –
només una no sonarà mai,
només una és muda per sempre.
Greu campana de la meva felicitat:
encara una vegada al capvespre
canta damunt el meu tossal
aquella cançó plena de benaurança.
Vers la qual, escoltant-la,
el meu jove front es girà
quan encara, en un clar camí,
caminava agafada de la mà de l’estimat.
