Alt-Solo
Im Waldesgrün am stillen See,
Da seufzt ein Jüngling im schweren Weh:
Gepackt von der tötenden Seuche, stahl
Er her sich, zu enden seine Qual.
Er, dem im Leben, wo er stand,
Sich jedes Herz einst zugewandt,
Stirbt jetzt, als hätt' er keinen Freund,
Hier ungesehn und unbeweint.
Der Jüngling
Ach, einen Tropfen nur aus dem See,
Zu kühlen das fiebrisch brennende Weh,
Ach, einen Tropfen nur aus der Flut,
Zu kühlen die fiebrische Glut!

A la fronda del bosc, prop d’un llac tranquil
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Contralt solo:
A la fronda del bosc, prop d’un llac tranquil,
un jovencell gemega amb profund dolor:
contagiat de la mortal epidèmia,
s’ha retirat aquí per posar fi al seu turment.
Ell, que a la vida, arreu on es trobava,
captivava tots els cors,
mor ara com si no hagués tingut mai cap amic,
aquí, sense ser vist ni plorat per ningú.
El jovencell:
Ai, tan sols una gota del llac
per refrescar el dolor de la febre que em crema,
ai, una sola gota de les aigües,
per refrescar la meva febril ardor!
