Schwung

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Persian (Farsi)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Gebt mir meinen Becher! Seht, er überstrahlt
Die blasse Lampe der Vernunft, so wie
Die Sonne die Gestirne überstrahlt!

Gebt mir meinen Becher! Sämtliche Gebete
Meines Breviers will ich vergessen, alle
Suren des Korans stürz ich in den Wein!

Gebt mir meinen Becher! Und Gesang erschalle
Und dringe zu den tanzenden Sphären auf
Mit mächtigem Schwung! Ich bin der Herr der Welt!

Embranzida

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

Doneu-me la meva copa! Veieu, és més brillant
que la pàl•lida llàntia de la raó,
així com el sol és més brillant que les estrelles!

Doneu-me la meva copa! Vull oblidar
totes les oracions del meu breviari,
en el vi hi gito totes les sures de l’Alcorà!

Doneu-me la meva copa! I que sonin els cants
i que arribin fins a les esferes dansants
amb poderosa embranzida! Sóc l’amo del món!
