Zum Rundetanz
 (Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Auf! es dunkelt;
Silbern funkelt
Dort der Mond ob Tannenhöhn!
Auf! und tanzt in froher Runde; 
Diese Stunde
Dämmert unbewölkt und schön!

 ... 

Hüpft geschwinde
Um die Linde,
Die uns gelbe Blüten streut.
Laßt uns frohe Lieder singen,
Ketten schlingen,
Wo man traut die Hand sich beut.

Also schweben
Wir durchs Leben,
Leicht wie Rosenblätter, hin.
An den Jüngling, dunkelts bänger,
Schließt sich enger
Seine traute Nachbarin.

A la dansa en rotllana
 (Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)
 See original
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Vinga! Es fa fosc;
argentada centelleja
allà la lluna damunt les alçàries cobertes d’avets!
Vinga! Danseu en alegre rotllana;
aquesta hora
llostreja serena i magnífica!

 ... 

Saltironem lleugers
al voltant del til•ler
que escampa flors grogues damunt nostre.
Cantem alegres cançons,
tanquem la renglera
allà on amb confiança s’ofereixen les mans.

Així anem surant
per la vida,
lleugers com pètals de rosa.
Al jovencell, quan el seu ànim s’ofusca,
que se li atansi més a prop
la seva fidel veïna. 

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3,4 of the original text.
