Je me poserai sur ton cœur

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG GER

           Ut signaculum.

Je me poserai sur ton cœur
Comme le printemps sur la mer,
Sur les plaines de la mer stérile
Où nulle fleur ne peut croître,
A ses souffles agiles,
Que des fleurs de lumière.

Je me poserai sur ton cœur
Comme l'oiseau sur la mer,
Dans le repos de ses ailes lasses,
Et que berce le rythme éternel
Des flots et de l'espace.

Em recolzaré al teu cor

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Ut signaculum.

Em recolzaré al teu cor
com la primavera al mar,
damunt les planes de la mar estèril
on no pot créixer cap flor,
amb els seus hàlits lleugers,
només flors de llum.

Em recolzaré al teu cor
com l’ocell al mar,
en el repòs de les seves ales lasses,
i que bressa el ritme etern
de les ones i de l’espai.
