Schmerzen
Language: German (Deutsch)

Sonne, weinest jeden Abend
Dir die schönen Augen rot,
Wenn im Meeresspiegel badend
Dich erreicht der frühe Tod;
Doch erstehst in alter Pracht,
Glorie der düstren Welt,
Du am Morgen neu erwacht,
Wie ein stolzer Siegesheld!
Ach, wie sollte ich da klagen,
Wie, mein Herz, so schwer dich sehn,
Muß die Sonne selbst verzagen,
Muß die Sonne untergehn?
Und gebieret Tod nur Leben,
Geben Schmerzen Wonne nur:
O wie dank ich, daß gegeben
Solche Schmerzen mir Natur!

Dolors
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Sol, que plores cada vespre
fins que els teus formosos ulls envermelleixen,
tot endinsant-te en el mirall del mar
t'arriba la mort prematura;
però reprens l'antiga esplendor,
glòria d'aquest món de tenebres,
quan al matí, de nou despertes
com altiu heroi triomfant!
Ai, per què hauria de lamentar-me,
el meu feixuc cor anhelant-te,
per què s'ha d'esbalair el sol?
per què el sol s'ha de pondre?
I si la mort només engendra vida,
el dolor sols la joia porta:
Oh, com agraeixo a la Natura
que m'ha donat semblant sofrença!
