L'ocell profeta (Carme Castellví i Gordon, set by E. Granados) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Canta, aucell aimat!
Canta, aucell profeta!
L'aire és suavitat
i la nit discreta.
Ah! Joia de mon cor,
ta cançó és la vida.
Canta la veu d'or.
Canta, canta ma cançó exquisida.

Ah, gentil aucell,
mestre en poesia.
Diu l'amor novell
quan s'escola el dia:
Ah! Vola per ma nit
fosca d'enyorança.
Deixa al fons del pit,
deixa, deixa, somnis d'esperança.

De l'amor ardit
ma tardor s'omplena;
l'hora d'infinit
nova llum ofrena.
Ah! Porta per l'espai
l'amorosa troba.
Canta, ardent i gai,
Canta, canta una aubada nova.
