  Pflücket Rosen, um das Haar
Schön damit zu kränzen,
Reihe dich, o junge Schar,
Dann zu frohen Tänzen!

 ... 

  Freuet euch, so lang der Mai
Und der Sommer währet;
Nur zu bald sind sie vorbei,
Und der Winter kehret.

  Lange müsst ihr dann auf's neu
Bei der Lampe sitzen,
Und bei ew'gem Einerlei
Saurer Arbeit schwitzen.

  Pflücket Rosen, um das Haar
Schön damit zu kränzen,
Reihe dich, o junge Schar,
Dann zu frohen Tänzen!

Cançó de maig

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

Colliu roses per coronar bellament
els vostres cabells,
poseu-vos en filera, oh jove colla,
per a una alegre dansa!

 ... 

Alegreu-vos mentre el maig
i l’estiu durin;
ben aviat hauran passat
i tornarà l’hivern.

Llavors de nou haureu
de seure al costat de la llàntia
i, amb una eterna monotonia,
suar per un penós treball.

Colliu roses per coronar bellament
els vostres cabells,
poseu-vos en filera, oh jove colla,
per a una alegre dansa!
