Säus'le, liebe Myrthe!
Wie still ist's in der Welt,
Der Mond, der Sternenhirte
Auf klarem Himmelsfeld,
Treibt schon die Wolkenschafe
Zum Born des Lichtes hin,
Schlaf, mein Freund, o schlafe,
Bis ich wieder bei dir bin!
Säus'le, liebe Myrthe!
Und träum' im Sternenschein,
Die Turteltaube girrte
Auch ihre Brut schon ein.
Still ziehn die Wolkenschafe
Zum Born des Lichtes hin,
Schlaf, mein Freund, o schlafe,
Bis ich wieder bei dir bin!

Xiuxiueja, murtra estimada!
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Xiuxiueja, murtra estimada!
Quina pau hi ha al món,
la lluna, pastora de les estrelles
als lluminosos camps del cel,
ja porta el ramat de núvols
a la font de la llum,
dorm, amic meu, oh dorm
fins que jo torni al teu costat!
Xiuxiueja, murtra estimada!
I somia a la llum de les estrelles,
parrupant, la tórtora
ja ha cridat la seva niuada.
Silent, el ramat de núvols està anant
vers la font de la llum,
dorm, amic meu, oh dorm
fins que jo torni al teu costat!
