J'ai rêvé tellement fort de toi

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT ENG GER

J'ai rêvé tellement fort de toi,
J'ai tellement marché, tellement parlé,
Tellement aimé ton ombre,
Qu'il ne me reste plus rien de toi.
Il me reste d'être l'ombre parmi les ombres
D'être cent fois plus ombre que l'ombre
D'être l'ombre qui viendra et reviendra
  dans ta vie ensoleillée.

Vaig somiar‑te amb tanta intensitat

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Vaig somiar-te amb tanta intensitat,
Vaig caminar tant, vaig parlar tant,
Vaig estimar la teva ombra tan profundament,
Que res teu no em resta.
Em resta ser l'ombra entre les ombres,
Ser cent vegades més ombra que l'ombra mateixa,
Ser l'ombra que vindrà i marxarà
    en la teva vida banyada de sol.
