Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen, Mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben, Sie hat so lange [von mir nichts]1 vernommen, Sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben. Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen, Ob sie mich für gestorben hält, Ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen, Denn wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt. Ich bin gestorben dem [Weltgewimmel]2, Und ruh' in einem stillen Gebiet. Ich leb' allein [in mir und meinem]3 Himmel, In meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied.

He esdevingut distant del món
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
He esdevingut distant del món en el que abans tant de temps perdia, fa tant de temps que no saben res de mi que potser creuen que sóc mort. Tant me fa si em tenen per mort, no puc dir res en contra perquè, en efecte, sóc mort per aquest món. Sóc mort per al mundanal tumult i reposo en un indret tranquil. Visc tot sol en el meu empiri, en el meu amor, en el meu cant.
