Leise, leise, laßt uns singen

Language: German (Deutsch) 

Leise, leise, laßt uns singen,
Still schon zieht der Mond die Bahn.
Sternlein süßen Gruß dir bringen.
Mög auch uns'rer zu dir dringen,
Stimmet d'rum ein Liedchen an:
Holde, erwache! Holde, erwache! 

Höre, höre uns're Weise,
Die der Zephir zu dir weht,
Die der Minne klingt zum Preise!
Öffne doch dein Fenster leise,
Unser zartes Liedchen fleht:
Holde, erwache! Holde, erwache! 

Leise, leise laßt uns singen,
Schlumm're sanft, wer schlummern will.
Möcht' es unserm Spiel gelingen,
Nur in ihren Traum zu klingen.
Laßt uns rufen, aber still:
Holde, erwache! Holde, erwache!

Cantem baixet, baixet

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch) 

Cantem baixet, baixet,
silent, la lluna ja segueix el seu curs.
Les petites estrelles et porten dolces salutacions,
perquè les nostres arribin també a tu,
entonem una petita cançó:
Encisera, desperta! Encisera, desperta!

Escolta, escolta la nostra tonada
que el zèfir bufa al teu envers
i que sona per lloar l’amor trobadoresc!
Obre la teva finestra sense fer fressa.
La nostra tendra cançoneta suplica:
Encisera, desperta! Encisera, desperta!

Cantem baixet, baixet,
que s’adormi dolçament qui vulgui dormir.
Que la nostra melodia reïxi
a sonar només en el seu somni.
Cridem però baixet:
Encisera, desperta! Encisera, desperta!
