by Josep Janés i Olivé (1913 - 1959)

Damunt de tu només les flors
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Our translations:  ENG
Damunt de tu només les flors
Eren com una ofrena blanca:
La llum que daven al teu cos
Mai més seria de la branca;

Tota una vida de perfum
Amb el seu bes t'era donada.
Tu resplendies de la llum
Per l'esguard clos atresorada.

¡Si hagués pogut ésser sospir
De flor! Donar-me, com un llir,
A tu, perquè la meva vida
S'anés marcint sobre el teu pit.

I no saber mai més la nit,
Que al teu costat fóra esvaïda.
