1. Liebe Schwalbe
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe,
Du fliegst auf und singst so früh,
Streuest durch die Himmelsbläue
Deine süße Melodie.

Die da schlafen noch am Morgen,
Alle Liebende in Ruh',
Mit dem zwitschernden Gesange
Die Versunk'nen weckest du.

Auf! nun auf! ihr Liebesschläfer,
Weil die Morgenschwalbe rief;
Denn die Nacht wird den betrügen,
Der den hellen Tag verschlief.

1.
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Estimada oreneta, petita oreneta,
arrenques el vol i cantes de bon matí,
escampant per l’atzur del cel
la teva dolça melodia.

Als que encara dormen al matí,
a tots els amants que reposen,
amb els teus refilets,
els despertes de llur son profund.

Lleveu-vos! Ara! Amants dormilegues,
així que l’oreneta us crida:
car la nit enganyarà
al que dormí durant el dia.

2. Klagen ist der Mond gekommen
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Klagen ist der Mond gekommen
Vor der Sonne Angesicht,
Soll ihm noch der Himmel frommen,
Da du Glanz ihm nahmst und Licht?

Seine Sterne ging er zählen,
Und er will vor Leid vergehn:
Zwei der schönsten Sterne fehlen,
Die in Deinem Antlitz stehn.

2.
Language: Catalan (Català) 
La lluna ha vingut a queixar-se,
davant la faç del sol,
de què em serveix el cel,
si tu m’has pres l’esplendor i la llum?

Ha anat comptant les seves estrelles,
i ella vol morir de pena:
en manquen dues de les més formoses,
i són les que estan al teu rostre.

3. Fensterlein, nachts bist du zu
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Fensterlein, nachts bist du zu,
Tust auf dich am Tag mir zu Leide:
Mit Nelken umringelt bist du;
O öffne dich, Augenweide!

Fenster aus köstlichen Stein,
Drinnen die Sonne, die Sterne da draußen,
O Fensterlein heimlich und klein,
Sonne da drinnen und Rosen da draußen.

Language: Catalan (Català) 
Finestreta, de nit estàs tancada
i t’obres de dia per al meu pesar:
de clavells envoltada;
oh, obre’t, delícia dels meus ulls!

Finestra de pedra preciosa,
a dintre hi ha el sol, a fora les estrelles,
oh finestreta, misteriosa i petita,
a dintre el sol i a fora les roses.

4. Ich gehe des Nachts
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich gehe des Nachts, wie der Mond thut geh'n,
Ich suche, wo den Geliebten sie haben;
Da hab' ich den Tod, den finstern, geseh'n.
Er sprach: such' nicht, ich hab' ihn begraben.

Language: Catalan (Català) 
Jo camino de nit, com ho fa la lluna,
cerco on han portat el meu estimat:
llavors he vist la mort, l’obscura.
M’ha dit: no cerquis més, jo l’he enterrat.

5. Blaues Sternlein
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Blaues Sternlein, du sollst schweigen,
Das Geheimnis gib nicht kund,
Sollst nicht allen Leuten zeigen
Unsern stillen Herzensbund.

Mögen and're stehn in Schmerzen,
Jeder sage, was er will;
Sind zufrieden unsre Herzen,
Sind wir beide gerne still.

5.
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Estrelleta blava, cal que callis,
no revelis el secret.
No has de fer conèixer a tothom,
la nostra callada relació amorosa.

Si als altres els dol,
deixa’ls dir el que vulguin;
si els nostres cors estan contents,
serem feliços en silenci.

6. Briefchen schrieb ich
 (Sung text)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Briefchen schrieb und warf in den Wind ich,
Sie fielen ins Meer, und sie fielen auf Sand.
Ketten von Schnee und von Eise, die bind' ich,
Die Sonne zerschmilzt sie in meiner Hand.

Maria, Maria, du sollst es dir merken:
Am Ende gewinnt, wer dauert im Streit,
Maria, Maria, das sollst du bedenken:
Es siegt, wer dauert in Ewigkeit.

Language: Catalan (Català) 
Vaig escriure petites cartes i les vaig llençar al vent,
caigueren al mar, caigueren a la sorra.
Les he lligat a cadenes de neu i gel
i el sol les fa fondre a les meves mans.

Maria, Maria, tingues en compte:
al final guanya qui persisteix en la lluita,
Maria, Maria, tingues present:
triomfa qui perdura eternament.
