Pfingsten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
[Ernsten]1 Tones laden Glocken
Zum Gebet ins Marmorhaus,
Doch die dumpfen Klänge locken
Mich in Wald und Feld hinaus.
In den Wipfeln rauscht und singt es
Urgewaltge Melodei,
Und aus jeder Blume klingt es,
Daß es heute Pfingsten sei.

Pentecosta
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Amb un solemne repic, les campanes conviden
a la pregària a la casa de marbre,
però els sons somorts m’atrauen
cap enfora, al bosc i als camps.
A les capçades hi remoregen i canten
antigues i poderoses melodies,
i de cada flor ressona
que avui és la pentecosta.
