Am Kreuzweg da lausche ich, wenn die Stern'
und die Feuer im Walde verglommen,
und wo der erste Hund bellt von fern,
da wird mein Bräut'gam herkommen.
La, la, la, la.
"Und als der Tag graut', durch das Gehölz
sah ich eine Katze sich schlingen,
ich schoß ihr auf den nußbraunen Pelz,
wie tat die weit überspringen!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Schad' nur ums Pelzlein, du kriegst mich nit!
mein Schatz muß sein wie die andern:
braun und ein Stutzbart auf ung'rischen Schnitt
und ein fröhliches Herze zum Wandern.
La, la, la, la.

La gitana
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
A la cruïlla estic a l'escolta, quan les estrelles
i els focs del bosc es van extingint
i on el primer gos borda de lluny,
d'allà vindrà el meu promès.
La, la, la, la.
"I mentre el dia clarejava per entre el bosc
vaig veure un gat enfilar-se,
vaig disparar a la seva pell color de noguera
i va saltar ben lluny.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Llàstima per la pell, però no m'enxamparàs!
El meu estimat ha de ser com els altres:
morè i amb una barba curta tallada a l'hongaresa
i un cor alegre per rodar món.
La, la, la, la.
