Jemand

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Scottish (Scots)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

   Mein Herz ist betrübt -- ich sag' es nicht --
Mein Herz ist betrübt um Jemand;
Ich könnte wachen die längste Nacht,
Und immer träumen von Jemand;
      O Wonne! von Jemand;
      O Himmel! von Jemand;
Durchstreifen könnt' ich die ganze Welt,
   Aus Liebe zu Jemand.
 
   Ihr Mächte, die ihr der Liebe hold,
O lächelt freundlich auf Jemand!
Beschirmet ihn, wo Gefahren drohn;
Gebt sicher Geleite dem Jemand!
      O Wonne! dem Jemand;
      O Himmel! dem Jemand;
Ich wollt' -- ich wollte -- was wollt' ich nicht
   Für meinen Jemand!

El meu cor està trist

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

El meu cor està trist, no dic res,
El meu cor està trist per algú,
Podria vigilar la nit més llarga, 
I sempre somiant per algú,
Oh, delícia!  Per algú; Oh Cel! per algú;
Podria vagar a través del món sencer
Per amor a algú.

Els vostres poders, que somriuen a l'amor,
Oh!  Somriuent amicalment a algú;
Protegeix-lo, on amenacin perils,
Dóna una guia segura al meu algú 
Oh, delícia!  Per algú; Oh Cel! Per algú;
Jo voldria, jo voldria, què no voldria jo 
per al meu algú!
