So will ich frisch und fröhlich sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT FRE
So will ich frisch und fröhlich sein,
ich hoff' mir soll's gelingen
zu Dienst der Allerliebsten mein
will ich jetzt fröhlich singen;
mein Herz das ist in Freuden ganz,
wenn ich sie an tu' blicken,
sie leuchtet als der Sonne Glanz,
möcht' mit ihr tanzen einen Tanz,
mein Herz mit ihr'm verstricken.

Jetztund zu dieser Maienzeit
tut sich herzlich erfreuen
manch Blümlein auf der Heiden breit,
Trauern will ich auch scheuen
und freu'n der Allerliebsten mein,
der ich mich hab' ergeben,
in ihrem Dienst fast emsig sein,
ich hoff' sie wird noch eigen mein,
im Tod und auch im Leben.

Zartwunnigliches Jungfräulein,
Lasst mich der Treu geniessen,
Eur steter Diener will ich sein,
Euch in mein Herz verschliessen;
Mein G'blüt vor Freuden allzeit wacht,
Dazu mein G'müt und Sinne,
Mein Herz nach euch in Ehren tracht,
Ade, zu tausend gute Nacht,
Ihr seid mein' Kaiserinne.

Jo vull ser trempat i alegre
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Jo vull ser trempat i alegre,
i així espero que reeixiré
a ser el servidor de la meva estimada,
i ara vull cantar alegrament;
el meu cor s’omple de joia
quan l’esguardo,
ella brilla com l’esclat del sol,
voldria ballar amb ella una dansa,
i entrellaçar el meu cor amb el seu.

Ara, en aquest temps de maig
s’alegren de tot cor
moltes flors al vast ermàs,
vull deixar de banda la tristor
i alegrar-me per la meva estimada,
a qui m’he consagrat,
d’estar constantment al seu servei,
espero que serà meva encara,
a la mort i també a la vida.

Tendra i dilecta donzella,
deixeu-me gaudir de la fidelitat,
vull ser el vostre assidu servidor,
recloure-us al meu cor;
d’alegria vetlla tothora la meva sang
i, a més, el meu ànim i els meus sentits,
amb veneració, el meu cor es deleix per vós,
adéu, mil vegades bona nit,
vós sou la meva emperadriu.
