Hochländisches Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Scottish (Scots)
Schlafe, süßer, kleiner Donald,
Ebenbild des großen Ronald!
Wer ihm kleinen Dieb gebar,
Weiß der edle Clan auf's Haar.
Schelm, hast Äuglein schwarz wie Kohlen!
Wenn du groß bist, stiehl ein Fohlen;
Geh' die Ebne ab und zu,
Bringe heim 'ne Carlisle Kuh!
Darfst im Niederland nicht fehlen;
Dort, mein Bübchen, magst du stehlen;
Stiehl dir Geld und stiehl dir Glück,
Und in's Hochland komm zurück!

La cançó de bressol de la terra alta
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Dorm, dolç, el meu petit Donald,
Viu retrat del gran Ronald!
El nostre noble clan sap molt bé,
qui va concebre el petit lladre.
tu ullviu, tens els ullets negres com carbó!
Quan siguis gran, roba un poltre,
Viatjaràs per la terra amunt I avall,
I portaràs a casa una vaca Carlisle!
A la terra baixa no pots faltar,
Allà, el meu ninet, roba!
Roba diners I roba felicitat,
I torna a la terra alta de nou!
