Befreit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Du wirst nicht weinen. Leise, leise
wirst du lächeln: und wie zur Reise
geb' ich dir Blick und Kuß zurück.
Unsre lieben vier Wände! Du hast sie bereitet,
ich habe sie dir zur Welt [geweitet]1 --
o Glück!

Dann wirst du heiß meine Hände fassen
und wirst mir deine Seele lassen,
läßt unsern Kindern mich zurück.
Du schenktest mir dein ganzes Leben,
ich will es ihnen wiedergeben --
o Glück!

Es wird sehr bald sein, wir wissen's beide,
wir haben einander befreit vom Leide;
so [geb']2 ich dich der Welt zurück.
Dann wirst du mir nur noch im Traum erscheinen
und mich segnen und [mit mir]3 weinen --
o Glück!

Alliberat
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
No ploraràs. Suaument
somriuràs i com si marxessis de viatge
et tornaré la mirada i et faré un petó.
Les nostres parets estimades, tu n'has tingut cura,
jo les he convertit en el món per a tu;
o, quina felicitat!

Llavors, ardentment, prendràs les meves mans
i em deixaràs la teva ànima,
deixant els nostres nens amb mi.
Tu em vas regalar la teva vida sencera,
vull tornar-se-la a ells;
o, quina felicitat!

Serà molt aviat, tots dos ho sabem,
ens hem alliberat mútuament del patiment,
et torno al món.
Després d'això només et veuré en somnis
i em beneiràs i ploraràs amb mi.
O, quina felicitat!
