Ich weiß mir'n Maidlein

(Sung text for setting by J. Brahms)

See base text

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT FRE

Ich weiß mir'n Mädchen hübsch und fein, 
  hüt du dich!
Es kann wohl falsch und freundlich sein,
  hüt du dich!
Vertrau ihr nicht, sie narret dich!

Sie hat zwei Äuglein, die sind braun,
  hüt du dich!
Sie werd'n dich überzwerch anschaun,
  hüt du dich!
Vertrau ihr nicht, sie narret dich!

Sie hat ein licht goldfarbenes Haar,
  hüt du dich!
Und was sie red't, das ist nicht wahr,
  hüt du dich!
Vertrau ihr nicht, sie narret dich!

 ... 

Sie gibt dir'n Kränzlein fein gemacht,
  hüt du dich! 
Für einen Narr'n wirst du geacht,
  hüt du dich!
Vetrau ihr nicht, sie narret dich!

Conec una noia

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Conec una noia bella i elegant,
compte!
Ella pot ser falsa o amistosa,
compte!
No et refiïs d’ella, t’està enganyant!

Ella té dos ulls que són bruns,
compte!
Ells t’esguardaran de reüll,
compte!
No et refiïs d’ella, t’està enganyant!

Ella té uns cabells color d’or,
compte!
I el que diu no és veritat,
compte!
No et refiïs d’ella, t’està enganyant!

 ... 

Si ella et dóna una garlanda ben feta,
compte!
Et prendran per un neci, 
compte!
No et refiïs d’ella, t’està enganyant!
