Der Sonne entgegen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Der Sonne entgegen 
In Liebesgluten 
Wandr' ich... o Wonne, 
Wer mäße dein Maß!
Mit Reif bepudert 
Prangen die Wälder,
Die Berge grüßen 
Das blendende Licht.
Vor Eiseskälte 
Knirschen die Schritte,
Der Hauch des Mundes 
Ballt sich zu Dampf...
Ich trage Feuer 
In meinem Herzen,
Mich brennt die Liebe, 
Das schlimme Kind.
Sie schürt die Flamme
Mit hastigen Händen,
Die Kohlen knistern, 
Der Wohlduft quillt,
Der Sonne entgegen 
Im Liebesgluten 
Wandr' ich... o Wonne, 
Wer mäße dein Maß!

De cara al sol

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

De cara al sol,
inflamat d’amor,
camino.... oh goig,
qui podria amidar la teva magnitud!
Empolsimats de gebre
resplendeixen els boscos,
les muntanyes saluden
la llum enlluernadora.
Del fred glacial
cruixen els passos,
l’alè de la boca
es condensa en un baf....
Porto foc
al meu cor,
a dintre meu crema l’amor,
el nen dolent.
Ell atia les flames
amb cuitoses mans,
les brases espetarreguen,
emana una flaire plaent,
de cara al sol,
inflamat d’amor,
camino..... oh goig,
qui podria amidar la teva magnitud!
