by Emil Kreuz (1867 - 1932), "Ein Jüngling liebt ein Mädchen", op. 4 (Four songs) no. 1, also set in English
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Jüngling liebt ein [Mädchen,]1
Die hat einen andern erwählt;
Der andre liebt eine andre,
Und hat sich mit dieser vermählt.

Das Mädchen [heiratet]2 aus Ärger
Den ersten besten Mann,
Der ihr in den Weg gelaufen;
Der Jüngling ist übel dran.

Es ist eine alte Geschichte,
Doch bleibt sie immer neu;
Und wem sie [just]3 passieret,
Dem bricht das Herz entzwei.

1. Un noi estima una noia
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Un noi estima una noia,
que n'ha escollit un altre;
aquest, estima una altra,
i s'ha casat amb ella.

La noia, per despit, es casa
amb el primer home
que creua el seu camí;
el noi s'ho pren malament.

Això és una vella història,
però segueix sent sempre nova;
i a qui tot just semblant passa,
se li parteix a trossos el cor.

Language: Catalan (Català) 
Fluixet, travessa el meu cor
un agradós carilló,
sona, cançoneta de primavera,
sona, més enllà, cap al lluny.

Sona, més enllà, cap a la casa
on creixen les flors,
si veus una rosa,
dóna-li la meva salutació.
