Der hehre Engel, der die Pforte
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT FRE ITA SPA
Recitativ Tenor-Solo
Der hehre Engel, der die Pforte
Des Lichts bewacht, vernimmt die Worte,
Und wie er lauscht und näher schleicht
Dem sanften Lied, entsinkt ihm eine Träne;
Er sprach:
Der Engel
Dir, Kind des Stamms, schön, doch voll Sünden
Kann eine frohe Hoffnung ich noch künden.
Im Schicksalsbuche stehn die Worte:
»Es sei der Schuld die Peri bar,
Die bringt zu dieser ew'gen Pforte
Des Himmels liebste Gabe dar!«
Geh, suche sie und werde rein:
Gern laß ich die Entsühnten ein!
Note: this text is a translation of part of Thomas Moore's
Paradise and the Peri.

L’àngel sublim que la porta
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Recitatiu tenor solo:
L’àngel sublim que la porta
de la llum custodiava, sentí aquelles paraules,
i quan s’acostà més a prop i escoltà
el dolç cant, se li escapà una llàgrima
i digué:
L’àngel:
A tu, filla de l’estirp, bella, però plena de pecats
et puc anunciar encara una alegre esperança.
Al llibre del destí estan escrites aquestes paraules:
“La Peri serà eximida de tota culpa
si ofereix a aquesta porta
el do més preuat per el cel!”
Ves, cerca’l i purifica’t:
de grat deixaré entrar a qui ha expiat!
