Himmel und Erde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Wie der Bäume kühne Wipfel
Zu des Lichtes Höhen streben!
Wie der Berge greise Gipfel
In des Himmels Wolken schweben!
Wie im Mai der Wiesen Blühen
Mit des Äthers Blau verschwimmet!
Wie der Wälder herbstlich Glühen
In des Frührots Licht verglimmet!
O so seid ihr denn Verwandte,
Himmel du und Mutter Erde!
Freudig trag ich irdsche Bande,
Da ich dein, O Himmel, werde!

Cel i terra
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Les capçades audaces dels arbres
com malden vers les alçàries de la llum!
Els vells cims de les muntanyes
com s’eleven entre els núvols!
Com al mes de maig les flors de la prada
es confonen amb el blau de l’èter!
Com l’esclat tardorenc dels boscos
s’apaga a la llum de l’alba!
Oh, sigueu doncs propers
tu cel i la mare terra,
joiós porto els meus lligams terrenals
car un dia, oh cel, seré teu!
