Still, wie still ‑‑ 's ist Mitternacht...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Still, wie [still]1 -- 's ist Mitternacht schon,
Drunten [beim Fenster]2 duftet der Mohn,
Duftet so leise, [du merkst]3 es kaum,
Schläfert [mein Kind in tiefen Traum]4.

Liese, kleine Liese, thu's Beinchen hinein,
[Guckt]5 durch das Fenster der Mondenschein,
Sagt es den [Bäumen]6, die draußen stehn,
Daß er dein [nackendes]7 Beinchen gesehn.

Früh, wenn der Wind kommt, schwatzen sie's aus,
Hört es der Spatz und die Katz' aus dem Haus;
Lachen die Blumen [alle so]8 sehr,
[Weil]9 unsre Liese ein Strampelchen wär'.

Silenci, quin silenci – ja és mitjanit
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Silenci, quin silenci – ja és mitjanit,
a sota, prop de la finestra, flairen les roselles,
flairen tan suaument que a penes ho perceps,
dorm, infant meu, en un somni profund.

Liese, petita Liese, fica a dins la teva cama,
la llum de la lluna esguarda per la finestra
i dirà als arbres que són a fora
que ha vist la teva petita cama nua.

De bon matí, quan arriba el vent, ho xerren,
els pardals i els gats des de la casa ho senten;
totes les flors es fan un fart de riure
perquè la nostra Liese sembla una bellugadissa.
