Deine Mutter, süßes Kind
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Deine Mutter, süßes Kind,
da sie in den Weh'n gelegen,
brausen hörte sie den Wind.
Und so hat sie dich geboren
mit dem falschen wind'gen Sinn.
Hast du heut ein Herz erkoren,
wirfst es morgen treulos hin.
Doch den zähl' ich zu den Toren,
der dich schmäht der Untreu wegen:
Dein Geschick war dir entgegen;
denn die Mutter, süßes Kind,
da sie in den Weh'n gelegen,
brausen hörte sie den Wind.

La teva mare, dolç infant
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
La teva mare, dolç infant,
quan li van venir els dolors,
sentia bufar el vent.
I així et va parir
amb l’esperit canviant del vent.
Si avui esculls un cor,
demà, deslleial, te’n desfàs.
Però jo compto entre els necis
qui et maldiu per la teva infidelitat:
el teu destí va contra tu;
car la teva mare, dolç infant,
quan li van venir els dolors,
sentia bufar el vent.
