Am grünen See von Nemi
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT CHI ENG
Am grünen See von Nemi
Ein alter Ahorn steht,
Durch die laubschweren Wipfel
Ein traurig Flüstern geht.

Am grünen See von Nemi
Ein junger Spielmann sitzt,
Er summt ein Lied, derweil ihm
Die Trän' im Auge blitzt.

Am grünen See von Nemi
Die Flut zieht leis und still:
Der Ahorn und der Spielmann,
Weiß keiner, was er will.

Am grünen See von Nemi
Ist die [allerfeinste]1 Schenk',
-- Preiswürd'ge Makkaroni,
Preiswürdigstes Getränk.

Der Ahorn und der Spielmann
Sind zwei verrückte Leut',
Sonst gingen beid' hinüber
Und tränken sich gescheit.

A la vora del verd llac de Nemi
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
A la vora del verd llac de Nemi
hi ha un vell auró,
a través de l’espès fullam de la capçada,
passa un trist xiuxiueig.

A la vora del verd llac de Nemi
hi ha un jove músic,
cantusseja una cançó mentre
una llàgrima brilla als seus ulls.

Al verd llac de Nemi
l’aigua corre silent i tranquil•la:
l’auró i el músic,
cap d’ells sap el què vol.

A la vora del verd llac de Nemi
hi ha la més excel·lent taverna,
-- macarrons a bon preu,
beguda a bon preu.

L’auró i el músic
estan tocats de l’ala,
altrament anirien a la taverna
i beurien per recobrar el seny.
