Feldeinsamkeit

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA

Ich ruhe still im hohen grünen Gras
Und sende lange meinen Blick nach oben,
Von Grillen rings umschwirrt ohn Unterlaß,
Von Himmelsbläue wundersam umwoben.

[Und schöne weiße]¹ Wolken ziehn dahin
Durchs tiefe Blau, wie schöne stille Träume; --
Mir ist, als ob ich längst gestorben bin,
Und ziehe selig mit durch ew'ge Räume.

Solitud al camp

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Reposo tranquil a l'alta i verda herba
i miro llargament cap amunt,
envoltat de grills que no paren de moure's,
misteriosament unit al blau del cel.

Els bonics núvols blaus vaguen
pel blau profund, com bells i tranquils somnis:
em sento com si hagués mort fa molt
i vagués feliç amb ells pels espais eterns.
