Er liegt und schläft an meinem Herzen,

Sing mir den Amor nicht wach!

1. Al rossinyol
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Ell jau i dorm al meu cor,
el meu bon esperit protector ha cantat per a ell;
i jo puc estar joiós i plaguejar
i em puc delectar de cada flor, de cada fulla.
Oh rossinyol, rossinyol,
no em despertis l’amor amb el teu cant!

 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlafe, schlafe, holder, süßer Knabe,
Leise wiegt dich deiner Mutter Hand;
Sanfte Ruhe, milde Labe
Bringt dir schwebend dieses Wiegenband.

Schlafe, schlafe in dem süßen Grabe,
Noch beschützt dich deiner Mutter Arm.
Alle Wünsche, alle Habe
Faßt sie liebend, alle liebwarm.

Schlafe, schlafe in der Flaumen Schoße,
Noch umtönt dich lauter Liebeston;
Eine Lilie, eine Rose,
Nach dem Schlafe werd' sie dir zum Lohn.

Note: according to Snyder's German Poetry in Song: An Index of Lieder, this poem is often misattributed to Claudius but it is not to be found in his works. This may be due to the similarity of its first line with that of this poem.

The text to Alois Melichar's arrangement of Schubert's melody can be found here.

2. Cançó de bressol
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Dorm, dorm, estimat dolç infant,
la mà de la teva mare et bressola suaument;
dolç repòs, benigne reconfort
et porta el balanceig del cordó del bressol.

Dorm, dorm en el dolç fossat,
el braç de la teva mare et protegeix encara,
tots els afanys, tots els béns,
ella els pren amb càlid amor.

Dorm, dorm a la sina del plomissol,
et ressonen encara sonores notes d’amor;
un lliri, una rosa,
seran, després del son, la teva recompensa.

3. Iphigenia
 (Sung text)
by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828), "Iphigenia", op. 98 (Drei Lieder) no. 3, D 573 (1817), published 1829 [ voice, piano ], A. Diabelli & Co., VN 3315, Wien
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Blüht denn hier an Tauris Strande
Aus dem theuren Vaterlande 
Keine Blume, weht kein Hauch
Aus den seligen Gefilden,
Wo Geschwister mit mir spielten? -
Ach, mein Leben ist ein Rauch!

Trauernd wank' ich in dem Haine, -
Keine Hoffnung nähr' ich - keine,
Meine Heimath zu erseh'n; -
Und die See mit hohen Wellen,
Die an Klippen sich zerschellen,
Übertäubt mein leises Fleh'n.

Göttin, die du mich gerettet,
An die Wildnis angekettet, -
Rette mich zum zweitenmal; -
Gnädig lasse mich den Meinen,
Laß' o Göttinn! mich erscheinen
In des großen Königs Saal!

Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version.

3. Ifigènia
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Aquí, al litoral de Tàurida, no hi creix
cap flor del país hel•lènic?
No bufa cap oreig suau
dels benaventurats camps
on les meves germanes jugaven amb mi? –
Ai, la meva vida és un no res!

Amb tristor, camino vacil•lant per el boscatge –
no nodreixo cap esperança – cap,
de tornar a veure la meva pàtria,
i el mar amb les seves grans onades
que rompen contra les roques,
eixorda les meves apagades súpliques.

Oh deessa, tu que m’has salvat
i encadenat en aquest lloc desert,
salva’m una segona vegada;
sigues indulgent i deixa’m, oh deessa,
comparèixer davant la meva gent,
a la sala del magne rei!
