Gudmunds erster Gesang
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE
Ich wandelte sinnend allein auf der Halde
Da zwitscherten ringsum die Vöglein im Walde.
So hell erscholl ihr lustiges Lied.
Hör'an, hör'an, wie die Liebe im Herzen erblüht!

Sie wächst wie die eiche wohl Jahre lang,
Sie nährt sich von Sorgen, von Traum und Gesang,
Sie keimet geschwind in der flüchtigsten Stund'
Faßet sie Wurzel im Herzensgrund!

Primera cançó de Gudmund
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Caminava pensarós, tot sol per la muntanya,
allà, tot a l’entorn del bosc, cantaven els ocells.
Llurs alegres cançons ressonaven tan clares.
Escolteu, escolteu, com l’amor floreix als cors!
Creix com el roure al llarg dels anys,
es nodreix de penes, de somnis i de cants,
brosta amb rapidesa en les hores fugisseres,
arrela al fons dels cors!
