Weine, weine, weine nur nicht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Weine, weine, weine nur nicht,
ich will dich lieben, doch heute nicht,
ich will dich ehren, [soviel ich kann,]1
aber 's Nehmen,
aber 's Nehmen steht mir nicht an.
Glaube, glaube, glaube nur fest,
daß dich mein' Treu' niemals verläßt,
allzeit beständig, niemals abwendig
will ich treu sein.
aber gebunden, das geh' ich nicht ein.
Hoffe, hoffe, hoffe, mein Kind,
daß meine Worte aufrichtig sind,
ich tu' dir schwören bei meiner Ehren,
daß ich treu bin:
aber 's Heiraten ist nie mein Sinn.

No ploris, no ploris, no ploris pas
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
No ploris, no ploris, no ploris pas,
jo t’estimaré, però no avui,
jo et veneraré, tant com podré,
però comprometre’m,
però comprometre’m, no s’escau per a mi.
Creu, creu, creu fermament
que la meva fidelitat mai t’abandonarà,
sempre constant, mai desatent,
et seré fidel,
però compromès, no ho puc acceptar.
Espera, espera, espera, estimada meva
que les meves paraules siguin sinceres,
et juro pel meu honor
que et sóc fidel,
però casar-me, no és la meva intenció.
