Nun wandre, Maria, nun wandre nur fort
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG ENG ENG FRE
Nun wandre, Maria, nun wandre nur fort.
Schon krähen die Hähne, und nah ist der Ort.
Nun wandre, Geliebte, du Kleinod mein,
Und balde wir werden in Bethlehem sein.
Dann ruhest du fein und schlummerst dort.
Schon krähen die Hähne und nah ist der Ort.
Wohl seh ich, Herrin, die Kraft dir schwinden;
Kann deine Schmerzen, ach, kaum verwinden.
Getrost! Wohl finden wir Herberg dort.
Schon krähen die Hähne und nah ist der Ort.
Wär erst bestanden dein Stündlein, Marie,
Die gute Botschaft, gut lohnt ich sie.
Das Eselein hie gäb ich drum fort!
Schon krähen die Hähne und nah ist der Ort.
